The objective of this article is to contribute to the production of pedagogical knowledge that has in its scope the promotion of mental health within educational communities, aiming at the possibility of undergraduate students being agents of mental health promotion in their teaching practices.

To produce this document, a description of the activities carried out in the classroom during the teaching monitoring actions was carried out, with the record based on notes made in a field diary.
