The context of Mental Health is marked by mobilizations that seek to restructure the care model to people in psychological distress. In order to institute actions that support the search for the autonomy of the users of the mental health services, the therapeutic workshops are developed, which are activities developed in a group with the presence and orientation of professionals, constituting the main form of treatment offered in the Centers of Psychosocial Attention (CAPS). The objective of this experience report was to verify the evaluation of the use of videogames that use human body movement as an interaction mechanism - exergames - by people in the process of psychosocial rehabilitation of a CAPS in the city of Maceió-AL. Four therapeutic workshops were developed with the exergames in order to provide corporal practices for people in psychological distress. Four CAPS users attended the meetings. After analyzing the workshops, it can be considered that the exergames constitute a potential tool to be implemented in the process of rehabilitation of people in psychological distress, enabling other ways of performing care in the field of Mental Health.
