Objetivo: The present study aimed to analyze the knowledge of co-management and its articulation with the practices performed in primary health care (PHC) and psychosocial care from the perspective of professionals. This is a qualitative investigation, which used as techniques the snowball interview, also disseminated as snowball sampling "Snowball" and the semi-structured for data collection with PHC professionals and psychosocial care. The data were analyzed from Bardin's thematic category analysis. The predominance of mental health activities was observed, and the perceptions of health professionals about co-management were contemplated within this understanding. Regarding the understanding of the term co-management and its tools, it is understood that professionals expressed their understanding of co-management and cite the tools to do it. Co-management comes as a solution for health spaces because it is a method that is based on the shared and collective construction among the subjects by defining the triple inclusion, considering managers, professionals and users of the service as agents of management.
