In 2012 I became a representative of the Council of Municipal Health Secretaries of the State of São Paulo (CONSEMS-SP) in the State Conductor Group of the Psychosocial Care Network. In 2012/2013 I acted as the technical advisor to the XIII Regional Health Board of the State of São Paulo (DRS-XIII).

I also collaborated with the planning, restructuring, and implementation of services at this university hospital: Psychiatric Emergency Service, Psychiatric Inpatient for Brief Hospitalization (EPIB) and its Post-Discharge Outpatient Clinics, providing daily care and supervising students and residents – and in 2002/2003 I was the technical and administrative personnel in charge for it.
