The production of data occurred, from May to July, 2017, through semi-structured interviews with 20 relatives. Results: Based on the analyzes, the meanings in relation to the care provided were highlighted, being: care as a form of affection, love, compassion; care as a lookout, attention to something, or refer to care, how to administer medication, care for personal hygiene and food. There was evidence of an illness in the family that occurred from the symptoms of the disease, and also the lack of support and social support to caregivers. Yet, the issue of religion/faith/spirituality emerged as supportive devices. Conclusion: it was considered that the care provided by the relative to the person with mental disorder is unique, according to each reality.
