title: [Building sensitive knowledge in mental health].
abstract: This is a report of an experience presented by the faculty of the subarea Promoting and Recovering Mental Health, by the Nursing School, from State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This subarea is offered in eight of the total nine terms of the undergraduate program, integrating into the themes of other subareas at each term. Based on students' experiences regarding those themes, and connecting them to theory later on, we hope they will grow on sensitiveness and empathy, thus strengthening their role of carers for clients in different fields. The evaluation of this subarea points out to the qualitative change in the teaching/learning process.
