Following implementation of the Unified Health System (SUS), the current organization of Brazil’s health care model incorporated intersectoriality, defined as the agreement of different actors in the context of planning and assisting programs and policies, as an essential premise. This emphasizes the importance of intersectoral articulation between health care and social support for greater resolution of demands and comprehensive care. Given this context, this integrative review analyzes the challenges of intersectoral collaboration between health and social support, and its implications for care management. Bibliographic research was conducted in the SciELO and LILACS databases for articles published between 2010 and 2020. The final sample was characterized by a broad, heterogeneous, and complex panorama of experiences between the two sectors, marked by institutional, operational, and resource challenges and variability, with the unanimous understanding that such experiences are still isolated and verticalized. Many obstacles are associated with the implementation of intersectoriality as a guiding principle for elaborating robust public policies, especially regarding the binomial health and social support, reiterating the need to revise work, management, training, organization and health care processes in Brazil, given the proposal and achievement of more effective results in the search for reducing health inequalities and strengthening social well-being strategies.
