The Federal Institute of Mato Grosso recognizes the importance of mental health care and support as a practice within the institution. The Directorate of Systemic Student Assistance, Inclusion and Diversity (DSAEstudantil) and the Coordination of Health, Safety and Quality of Life for Employees (CQVT) are sectors that, among other functions, have a space for providing support to students and employees.
Support in the school environment is provided through active and empathetic listening, with the aim of receiving, understanding and identifying the needs of students and carrying out the necessary referrals for their care.
In the campuses, this support is provided by multidisciplinary teams and the CAEI - Coordination of Student Assistance and Inclusion, in this way, students who need support can seek out the sector and these reference professionals.
When necessary, the professionals and sectors responsible in the campuses carry out referrals and mediate with the Psychosocial Support Network of the Unified Health System (SUS). In parallel, it is important to emphasize that the IFMT promotes educational and preventive actions in mental health, involving the entire school community.
In this sense, this month some campuses already have scheduled activities in the academic calendar: the Cuiabá Bela Vista campus will hold the event: "Emotional Health: conversations that strengthen". And the São Vicente and Tangará da Serra campuses have scheduled lectures and activities for Mental Health Awareness Month. In the Cuiabá - Cel.
