Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. Results: adolescents and women predominated. Most cases had a family history of mental disorders and were linked to school or work. Conduct disorders, substance use and suicidal ideation or attempt were notable. Conclusions: the results presented reflect that the impact of this service on the population has been positive.Downloads
