Brazilian women's support and mental health initiatives

Overview

In Recife, the Pernambuco State Secretariat for Women launched the ‘Safe Environment for Women’ project at the Otávio de Freitas Hospital. This initiative uses a mobile service unit to offer free legal, social, and psychological assistance. The program also includes educational lectures on preventing and confronting sexual harassment in workplaces and healthcare settings.

Expanding on these support efforts, the Brazilian government introduced ‘Acolhe Mais’, a free psychological tele-service accessible via the Meu SUS Digital application. The service provides remote care from qualified psychologists to women experiencing or who have experienced violence, as well as women serving as caregivers for family members with disabilities, rare diseases, or neurodevelopmental disorders.
