COVID-19 pandemic resulted in losses, and lessons being learned world-wide. Isolation has impacted our planning abilities, as well as our ability to ponder about new aspirations. In the education, the situation at hand demands attention, given the rise of violence during social isolation. It is necessary to promote teachers’ and students’ mental well-being, given the complexity involved in teaching work. Our main goal was to develop training processes in the context of Permant Health Education (PHE), from the perspective of the transversality of the health-disease processes, meaning to enhance knowledge, self-esteem, motivation, as well as health promotion for teachers and students. Image Analysis Methodology has been applied. From that as well as from the authors' praxis, an Articulating Methodology was developed, based on pedagogical-dialogical, intercultural, intersect oral, PHE principles and, finally, on cognitive neuroscience devices. We have explored strengths and weaknesses both in teachers and in students, meaning to prevent violence, meaning to build into learning environments for a culture of peace. This study has revealed the application of Articulating and Imaging Methodologies are able to facilitate the establishment of a PHE process, which promotes teacher training to impact their practices toward the development of healthy learning spaces, knowledge exchange, affections.
