In addition, only a small portion of the Family Health Strategy teams offer group care, and just over half of them carry out mental health promotion actions. The objective of this work is to describe the process of building groups with adolescents who practice self-mutilation in the form of group dynamics workshops, based on the report of the experience of a psychologist resident in Public Health, in order to undertake a reflection on the possibilities and difficulties found in the implementation of an intervention to promote mental health in a Primary Health Care device
