About us

     Based on the  School of Nursing -University of São Paulo (EEUSP), the Group of  Research Nursing and the Politics of Mental Health (GEnPSM), it is an interdisciplinary group coordinate by Professor Sonia Barros.

    Since the 2000s,  the GEnPSM has developed studies on Mental Health Policy in Brazil and its implications for practice and teaching in the field of mental health, especially in Psychiatric Nursing. Currently it consists mental health experts, doctors and masters in science, as well as post-doctoral, doctoral, masters, graduate students and professionals in psychosocial care network.

     The results of these studies have led to changes mainly in nursing education in mental health and contributed to the reformulation of the Brazilian mental health policy.

     The research lines that work are: Nursing as social-professional practice and Policy in Mental Health and Nursing.

   In our monthly meetings we discuss our current research projects and results, as well as planned scientific events in the mental health area.
