This paper presents an education experience relating to humanization within the framework of institutional support. In this process, the following political-methodological guidelines were proposed: (i) to take the Brazilian Health System (SUS) network to be a concrete space for labor relations and production of subjectivities, thus leading to thinking of it in its ‘autonomous capacity’; (ii) to include institutional support as a strategy for interspersing in the movements of this network, thus enhancing its state of autonomy; and (iii) to conceive of the education process as a strategy for placing the ways of working within this network under analysis, thus inducing or strengthening the potential for workers to act as institutional supporters. This is the end product that we indicate here in order to add extended objectives to this education activity. The course had a group strengthening function and fostered networks, but this is not a finished process, since it follows the course of life, with its intrinsic variations.
