This article is the report of an experience of graduate students from the School of Nursing of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, as part of the subject "Health, disease, and space". The article aims to report the discussion regarding the link between mental health and care centers, based on the experience in that subject. Dynamic resources have been used, such as music, letters and exploration of the physical space in order to raise awareness and reflection on the topic. Results are presented by means of letters that express the reflective dialogues on mental health from each perspective. We conclude that the experience contributed to the construction of knowledge and the awareness regarding this subject. These contributions are essential for the training of new teachers who should be able to foster the training of nurses who would be co-responsible for the construction of new ways to understand the individual experiencing psychological suffering and the care provided to them.
