- Abstract
Objective: To describe teachers' perceptions of adolescent students' mental health and actions undertaken at school. Methods: Descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach and theoretical-methodological framework of Sociopoetics. Nine high school teachers from a public school in the city of Niterói-RJ participated. Data were collected through questionnaire and research group and analyzed according to thematic analysis. Results: Three categories of analysis were found: a) mental health problems in adolescent students perceived by teachers; b) measures to protect the student's mental health engendered by the school and c) perception of the teacher's role in promoting the adolescent student's mental health. Conclusions: The data indicate that teachers identify the main problems related to the mental health of the adolescent student, but are not always willing or feel prepared to help them, showing the need for training and implementation of strategies to promote mental health at school.
