Promoção da saúde mental de adolescentes : intervenção multiprofissional sobre Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada na Atenção Primária em Belém(PA)

Abstract

This intervention project aims to address Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) among adolescents assisted at the Mestre Alarino Primary Healthcare Unit, in Belém (PA), through educational, preventive, and community-based actions within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC). By means of a multiprofessional and intersectoral approach, the project seeks to expand knowledge about GAD, reduce the stigma related to mental health, and strengthen the social support network by involving families, schools, and the healthcare team. The intervention will be carried out over 12 months, with strategies focused on professional training, discussion circles with adolescents, playful and educational activities, as well as continuous monitoring of results. The project is expected to promote welcoming practices, youth empowerment, and early detection of anxiety cases, contributing to improved quality of life for adolescents and the implementation of comprehensive mental health care.
