The pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium compose a very significant human experience, with strong upside potential and very enriching for all who participate. The postpartum period has been described as a period of female life in which mental disorders are particularly frequent, which could reflect a stereotypical view of society and health professionals about the positive experiences arising from the myth of unconditional maternal love. This research aims to present strategies to enable health professionals through continuing education, thinking in the clinical situation of postpartum depression (PPD), allowing them to act preventively in the care of pregnant or postpartum women. The methodological design was action research focused on qualitative analysis, the first stage consisted of interviews applied to healthcare professionals involved in caring for pregnant and postpartum women, seeking to investigate how the approach was on the PPD in the Basic Health and Maternity of Penápolis / SP. Subsequently we perform activity in order of Continuing Education for professionals involved, and in the third stage we repeat the interviews with professionals participating in the study on the impact that the discussion on the subject caused in their care practices maternal health. We conclude that there was no specific approach on PPD in prenatal, with clear lack of suitable space for reflection involving matters that were not the technical aspects of obstetrical conditions. After the educational intervention, we saw important changes that were reflected in the discourses on new positions ahead to patients, staff and the best rapport, including management support to embrace concerns about PPD institutional form, determining the deployment routine for the diagnosis and for referral of patients with PPD and a new project due to the results of our research. Therefore it became clear the relevance of making on continuing education a current practice of the health team, and also to allow space for continuing education in order to listen to the reality of professionals, encouraging them to seek solutions and solving their conflicts before, thereby lowering anxieties and strengthening networking and relationship between the professionals themselves
