METHODS: Intervention research with a qualitative approach, carried out in a municipality of Rio de Janeiro from 2013 to 2014, using the institutional socio-clinical method in its form of institutional analysis of practices.

RESULTS: Limits of theoretical-practical teaching of mental health in vocational training are highlighted; the effects of time to grasp the theoretical-practical contribution of mental health; the perception of the mental health system, and the excessive appreciation of expert in mental health care.
