Resumo: This was a qualitative, descriptive study, performed with 17 Community Health Agents. The aim was to analyze the perception of these professionals regarding the most frequent mental health cases in the region. Data was collected through observation of the region and two focus groups. We used the structuralist perspective for the analysis. The results showed that these professionals perceived mental health demands from an expanded concept of health, in which the resources fit together between the various sectors. They deal with difficulties, develop actions based on soft technologies and do not necessarily focus on the disease. It was concluded that these elements reinforce the power of the Community Health Agents as performers of mental health care practices and as an important link between the healthcare service and the community.
