SUMMARY:

This research deals with political strategies to promote the health of lesbians, gays, bisexuals,
transvestites and transsexuals (LGBT) in Pernambuco, with particular interest to aspects
related to mental health, given the relevance of this dimension in the health care of this
population as well as the little visibility of this agenda in the public debate with the topic. If,
on the one hand, mental health policies rarely address aspects related to gender and sexuality,
on the other, health promotion and sexual rights policies also treat mental health in a
secondary way. Thus, in this research, we are looking to emphasize the multiple violence
suffered by the LGBT population and the repercussions of these violence on their mental
health process, as well as to explore aspects related to institutional violence, since many
LGBT people avoid public services to avoid experiencing constraints / multiple violence in a
context where they are supposed to be taken care of. To this end, our main objective was to
analyze, among narratives, memories and positions, the meanings production about mental
health in the implementation of the State Policy for Integral LGBT Health in Pernambuco
seeking to: a) analyze discursive repertoires about mental health in the context of this policy;
b) to analyze the ways in which gender and sexuality are triggered in the production of these
repertoires; c) to analyze the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic in the daily life of the
services that are part of this policy. The methodology involved the production of narratives
based on interviews with 11 members and former members of the LGBT Integral Health
Technical Committee that has been involved in the implementation and monitoring of the
LGBT Comprehensive Health Policy in the state of Pernambuco, involving representatives of
social movements and instances of state public power. Thus, we conducted a qualitative
research based on the constructionist and feminist perspective of doing research, emphasizing
the care with people involved in the process, ensuring a welcoming and safe environment,
negotiating ethically the action and constant interaction throughout the conversation.
Therefore, at the interface between the researcher's memories and dialogically constructed
discursive productions, we believe that we have accessed the narrative pathways and the
production of meanings about mental health by those people who effectively work in
promoting LGBT health in the State of Pernambuco. Our analyzes emphasize the need to give
visibility to little-known narratives and the power of discussion on the topic, with a
perspective to contribute to the qualification of SUS devices and the Psychosocial Care
Network (RAPS), ensuring rights for the LGBT population, starting from an offer of care and
comprehensive care, to the mental health of this population.
