Objective: To identify the therapeutic practices of a Day Hospital Mental Health directed support to social support networks for people with mental disorders. Methodology: Qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study associated with participant observation techniques, interviews and documentary review carried out from March 31 to April 17, 2014, in Day Hospital, Hospital Clinical, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo - HD/HCFMRP/USP. Results: The Community Health Group of the HD/HCFMRP/USP constitutes one of the therapeutic approaches of the therapeutic plan for the patients under treatment under the semi-hospitalization regime, at the same time that it has consolidated as a structure beyond the Day Hospital. It is an activity open to the community and aims to be a space for the dialogical exercise of appropriation and communication of everyday experiences. Discussion: Integrative Community Therapy has been consolidating as a new technology of psychosocial intervention characterized by welcoming, listening and caring for the subjects and their sufferings. It is a space for the promotion of interpersonal and intercommunal meetings, sharing of experiences and accumulations of life in order to value each one of the life stories of the participants, rescuing the self-esteem, the confidence in itself, in the perspective of amplifying the perception of the problems and the consequent glimpsing of possibilities of their resolutions based on local competences.
