The intervention, based on the research conducted, aims to work with these groups within the Family Health Strategy (FHP) of the São José district, in the municipality of Solonópole, Ceará, so that this work can enable improvements in community health and in Previne Brasil indicators. Group actions have been shown to have an impact on both the mental and physical health of individuals participating in group educational activities.
