OBJECTIVE: To identify the perceptions and practices of the professionals of the Psychosocial Care Centers and the Family Health Strategy about the integration of these sectors. METHOD: This is an exploratory descriptive study of a qualitative nature, in which the professionals were interviewed through a structured script, and the Bardin content analysis method was used. RESULTS: Based on the findings, we observed that among the many challenges that make it impossible for mental health care to occur from the Family Health Strategy, the lack of a matrix support by the Family Health Support Units. CONCLUSION: It is essential to implement strategies aimed at this integration, considering its importance for the implementation of integral care in mental health.
