Abstract

Objective: to report the experience lived in the curricular component “Special topics on mental health in training processes”. Method: This is a study with a qualitative approach of the experience report type. The experience described in this study took place during the 2019/2 semester in a graduate course at the School of Nursing at the Federal University of Bahia. The class consisted of 07 students, aged between 24 and 39 years old, of which 04 enrolled as special students and 03 regular students of the doctorate in nursing. Result: During the semester, in addition to theoretical classes on psychic illness and discussion in the classroom about postgraduate students' mental health, there were therapeutic and relaxation activities for students with strategic techniques to promote mental health. Conclusion: Thus, it was evidenced that in this learning process the techniques used as strategies resulted in the reduction of stress, anxiety and self-knowledge about the body.
