Suddenly in March 2020 we found ourselves confined and isolated in our homes, due to a global health crisis arising from a pandemic, caused by the contamination of a virus called COVID-19. This health crisis also generated a crisis in the social determinants of health, especially those related to the economy, education and culture. But it also generated another crisis, the psychosocial crisis, where populations affected by the effects of mental damage caused by the pandemic and isolation, showed important signs of stress. It is in this scenario that the Integrative Community Therapy, previously carried out in person, is renewed and reinvented. This article reports on the experience of implementing the Integrative Community Therapy online in Brazil and presents the results of the Afinando Vidas Pole in the contribution of improving the quality of life and the individual and collective mental health of the Brazilian population.

In the early morning of March 3, 2020, there was a landslide in Baixada Santista after heavy rainfall, causing the death of 45 people and many others. The Brazilian Association of Community Therapy (ABRATECOM) mobilized with the members of the centers near the accident, the "Instituto Afinando a Vida (IAV)" and the "CAIFCOM/Santos", who were responsible for collecting donations and making community therapy circles to welcome the homeless of this tragedy. This work was developed over two weekends by 15 community therapists from the cities of São Paulo and Santos, who held community therapy circles for survivors in the hostels and communities.
