This study aimed to know the available social network of mental patients from a mental-health community service in a small town. It was a qualitative study that utilized a semi-structure interview as data collection tool. The analysis of data allowed the building of two empiric categories: the mental patient in his primary network and in his secondary network. It was concluded that the patients have their family members as the main resource of social support and also establish relation- ships with their several existing scenarios in the community of their surroundings.
