The construction of an individualized therapeutic project requires collective participation and a conception of the subject that contemplates bio-psychosocial, spiritual, and cultural aspects. The aim of this study was to better comprehend how therapeutic projects are constructed at the Psychosocial Care Center in Sobral, CE, Brazil. A qualitative research method was used within a critical and reflexive perspective. Eleven mental health workers, five members of the patients' families, and seven patients participated in the study carried out at the Psychosocial Care Center in Sobral, CE, Brazil. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and systematic observation. Data was analyzed based on Merhy's analytic flowchart. Through this study, we perceived that therapeutic projects are constructed based on each individual's needs through mutual effort from workers/patient/family, with the purpose of promoting mental health.
