Abstract

This article aims to report the academic experience of the nursing program at a Center for Psychosocial Care (CAPS) through home visits. CAPS is a community-based service that provides care for people with mental illness and their families, in which social inclusion and rehabilitation are the axes that guide the care of professionals. One of the main devices used to monitor the social network is the home visit, because from it we can have the diagnosis of the reality of the individual and his family. We can see the home visit as a way to share more in line between the community and students who develop the disease. Through the exchange of knowledge we can intervene in a positive way, improving the quality of life of the community through education and health promotion. during home visits can strengthen ties with families in order to involve all actors in the process of care before it is possible to create or strengthen ties to the professional providing greater autonomy in interdisciplinary effectiveness of their actions.
