Abstract

The paper presents the Collective TiVi Piraí, a communication and mental health collective active since 2013 composed of Psychosocial Care Network of Juiz de Fora (MG) users. It frames the experience report linked to contemporary group movements that intend to change and improve public policies in the psychiatric reform context. It discusses the historical path of the group formation contextualized in the process of the municipality’s deinstitutionalization. The text shows the importance of the communication space democratization as a resource for the establishment of socio-cultural dialogue and the reconstruction of the stigmatizing and excluding imaginary about the carrier of mental suffering. The aspects of subjective production are presented within the existential trajectory of the initiative members and the possibility of access to protagonism, expressiveness and citizenship exercise.
