Abstract

Objective: To promote self-care and mental health among healthcare professionals by providing moments of reflection, relaxation, and knowledge exchange to reduce stress and enhance well-being in the workplace. Methods: Conducted between August 2023 and January 2024 in healthcare units in Caucaia, Brazil, the project included discussion groups on self-care and workers' health, as well as integrative practices. Activities, lasting an average of 30 to 40 minutes, were held in groups or individual sessions and adjusted to the units' routines. Results: Participants reported emotional relief, reduced stress, and increased awareness of the importance of self-care. These low-cost and short-duration practices had a positive impact on professionals' well-being and productivity. Conclusions: The project highlighted the value of self-care in the workplace, delivering immediate results but emphasizing the need for ongoing and structural actions to foster sustainable mental health.
