Abstract: 

Suicide is a complex public health problem and requires longitudinal and integral follow-up in the Family Health Strategy, and other services which replace hospitalization. However, some of these services demonstrate weaknesses in care. In this way, the objective is to propose strategies to improve the services composing the Psychosocial Care Network, strengthening suicide prevention, and qualified multiprofessional care. Current health scenario does not follow the coverage of suicide issues, requiring differentiated interventions that consider the social context, epidemiological factors, and provision of resources for the promotion of mental health. In primary health care, development of new therapeutic strategies, operated by the Multiprofessional Group for the Prevention of Suicide Attempts, is indicated. In Psychosocial Care Centers is recommended the creation of care groups, as well as construction of Single Therapeutic Projects. The importance of team meetings with case discussion and notification of self-harm contexts is highlighted. Specially in institutionalized patients constituting the Sentinel Network in the Hospitalization Unit in General Hospital. Thus, it is considered fundamental to awaken to dialogic practices and permanent education in services by re-evaluating interventions directed at vulnerable groups in the community in order to reduce self-directed violence.
