In this case, the RAPS is made up of the UBS\/ESF, the CAPS, UA, SRT, PVC, UA, SAMU, the Geiras Hospitals and also Social and Cultural Centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find the nearest RAPS unit, you can access the map available online or go to one of the units mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"psicologo-gratuito-na-ubs\"><strong>Free psychologist at UBS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, if you seek help for mental health issues free of charge, the Basic Health Unit (UBS) is the starting point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you make an appointment with a general practitioner. During the consultation, explain your feelings and situation to request a referral to a free psychologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the referral in hand, make an appointment with a psychologist at the same UBS, if one is available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that the wait can be long due to high demand and the limited availability of mental health specialists at UBSs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the clinician or psychologist assesses that your problems are moderate to severe, they may refer you to a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) for more specialized support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"caps\"><strong>CAPS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"http:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-768x460.png 768w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-696x417.png 696w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11-1068x640.png 1068w, https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-11.png 1256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yandex Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAPS are places where professionals from various fields, such as psychologists, doctors, nurses, social workers and therapists, work together to take complete care of people's mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They offer different types of services, depending on your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some CAPS serve people of all ages with serious mental problems, others specialize in children, adolescents or problems related to alcohol and drug use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some have the option of staying overnight. If you need help, you can be referred by a doctor or go directly to a CAPS for a screening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There, you'll find a professional who will follow you closely, listen without judgment and help you plan your treatment. This process includes conversations about the best approaches, such as medication or social support, and organizing next steps and appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reducao-de-riscos-de-suicidio\"><strong>Reducing the risk of suicide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marcelo Kimati, a doctor with a PhD in Social Sciences and experience as a mental health coordinator for the Ministry of Health, highlights the importance of Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) in ongoing mental health treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explains that for people suffering from chronic mental disorders, it is not feasible to rely solely on emergency care or urgent care units.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although good crisis intervention is crucial, these disorders require constant and comprehensive care, including early detection of suicide risks, and not just treatment with medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.br\/saude\/pt-br\/composicao\/saes\/desmad\/raps\/caps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAPS<\/a>the health professional will explain the next steps of the treatment and schedule the next appointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this return visit, more details will be given about the treatment, assessing the need for psychiatric follow-up, medication, or even social assistance support, if necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAPS have proven to be effective, with municipalities that have at least one center registering a drop of up to 14% in the risk of suicide, according to data from the Ministry of Health in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, despite the positive results, CAPS represent a high cost compared to the maintenance of traditional psychiatric hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See also the main tips for making money from car or motorcycle auctions: <a href=\"https:\/\/jornalpopular.com\/en\/5-dicas-para-ganhar-dinheiro-com-leiloes-de-carros-e-motos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>!
