SUMMARY:

Primary Health Care (PHC) makes up one of the four levels of health care in the Unified Health

System (SUS). As the gateway to the SUS, its initiatives include intersectoral health promotion and

prevention actions, as well as treatment, diagnosis and harm reduction. Within PHC, Psychology has

enabled transformative experiences in the field of mental health, however this action has presented

adversities. The focus of the present study is PHC in a municipality in Minas Gerais, specifically on the

provision of psychology services at this level of health care. Three psychologists are responsible for

serving the entire population of almost ninety thousand inhabitants. The general objective of the study was

to identify the paths and difficulties in accessing the PHC psychology service in this municipality. It was

decided to develop an exploratory qualitative research, through Therapeutic Itineraries using the Timeline,

semi-structured interviews and sociodemographic questionnaire as instruments. Eight users of this service

participated in the research, four of them users who are undergoing psychological counseling and four

who are waiting on the waiting list. The research provided the opportunity to analyze possible strategies

for better provision and promotion of mental health within Basic Health Units and identification of

possible barriers, such as insufficient professionals for an alarming demand, limited resources and

difficulty in defining work. It is concluded that the current model used in PHC in that municipality is

primarily biomedical and offers little access to the population. It is essential that there is a reorientation in

the organization of psychological services, seeking ways of acting based on community and

territorialization models, using integrative practices, promoting the strengthening of bonds with the community. It is recommended to carry out ongoing education processes with teams and management regarding the possible actions of PHC psychology and networking. Better coordination with the municipality's Psychosocial Care Network is also suggested, as well as the hiring of more psychology professionals.
