Ambulatório Multiprofissional Estudantil (AME): desafios na implementação de um serviço de atenção em saúde mental ao universitário

Abstract

Admission to college is an important moment for students who most of the time also enter adulthood through the choice of a profession and new experiences that will have a direct impact on their future. These new experiences require the ability to adapt and relate themselves to others and their surroundings, and may present difficulties that influence the student's mental health. Suffering has been the subject of study since the 1950s worldwide and is growing in Brazil by health service’s implementation in Universities as it’s public has its own characteristics. This work presents the implementation of a mental health care service at the Federal University of Uberlandia, the Multiprofessional Student Ambulatory. It’ll be discussed here the conditions by wich the care models can emerge and develop based on the work carried out with students and anchored in the concepts of Territory, Implication and the clinical logic of Therapeutic Accompaniment.
