The Institutional Clinical Supervision: An Experience in the Psychosocial Care Network in the State of Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

As one of the valuable devices for the Psychosocial Care Network, Clinical-Institutional Supervision presents itself as a possibility for qualifying mental health services in favor of humanized and anti-asylum care. In this sense, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the service of clinical-institutional supervision was offered to Psychosocial Care Centers for a period of two years. With the aim of creating an overview of the effects of this practice on the services, we propose, based on reports of experiences of these supervisors-researchers, to recover the crossings of these meetings, using as reference the products established in the project that guided such intervention. It was possible to conclude that, despite the premises of integrated care provided for in psychosocial care policies, in order to establish the network, a continuous process of supervision for qualifying the teams is still necessary, in addition to the availability of local management to facilitate the processes of qualifying the network, such as meetings, matrix support and continuing education.
