What about the difficulty of family support for these patients feel overwhelmed and without knowledge on how to deal with idleness they present. In this way we aim social inclusion of these patients emphasizing next to them that there is "life outside the walls of their homes," and assist and equip the family on how to support them and encourage them to be independent, supervising them when necessary. Methodology: This is an experience report on the group created to serve people with mental disorders which features the NASF Blessed and Lameirão Retiro team guided listening, motivation and work activities, especially handicrafts. Patients are captured through home visits and / or forwarded by professional Unit and the activities take place every two weeks in the territory of coverage of the team.
