Abstract:

Mental health care based in community has shown to be effective and relevant for people with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia, however evidence is less clear within Colombia‘s health care system. Although national health care guidelines give importance to social context in relation to this disease, weaknesses are presented both prevention and rehabilitation. As a contribution to the discussion on care for people living with schizophrenia, a topic review was conducted to identify experiences in community‘s mental health services, relating its relevance to these people at national level. Articles were searched in online databases such as Online_Scielo Scientific Electronic Library, MEDLINE with Full Text, Science Direct and documents of the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization and Ministry of Health and Social Protection were sought as well. Few experiences in community care for people with schizophrenia in Colombia were found, and due its importance to worldwide‘s public health, a call for attention to the construction and implementation of these models in the Colombian context has been made.
