The tour brought reflections on mental health to five distinct community spaces: Monserrate Secondary School, the PSP (Public Security Police), the company J. Canão, a Public Space, and the Confraria de Nossa Senhora da Caridade, where the final exhibition was held.
Throughout this initiative, the aim was to bring the topic of mental health closer to people, institutions, the educational community, and the world of work, addressing emotional well-being in different contexts. At Monserrate Secondary School, the focus was on the educational community; at the PSP, on security forces; at J. Canão company, under the motto 'We Are Not Machines,' on the professional context; in the Public Space, on the community in general; and at the Confraria, on proximity and care for others.
This initiative was promoted by the União das Freguesias de Viana do Castelo (Santa Maria Maior e Monserrate) e Meadela, as part of the work developed by CSIF – Comissão Social Inter-Freguesias, in coordination with partner entities.
The organization thanked all the institutions that hosted the exhibitions, the partners, artists, and everyone who contributed to the initiative's success, reinforcing that "mental health does not have a single place, a single age, or a single reality" and that "talking about mental health is caring for people. And that is a collective responsibility!".
