It is highlighted that the people in charge of the care service have a higher incidence of presenting significant symptoms, which is why it is important to prevent and strengthen these affected areas. This intervention project carried out in a hospital in the city of Quito was addressed to health personnel in charge of care activities in the Palliative Care Area. The theme that this experience addressed was the prevention of overload syndrome to achieve adequate management of emotions and thus the strengthening of social skills through the implementation of spaces for dialogue and reflection. The systematization of this project has collected information from 5 workshops in which the proposed topics could be worked through experiential dynamics that managed to take into account the needs of this population group that was affected by present symptoms of the overload syndrome. This analysis will be represented from the systematization and interpretation, which will help us to clarify the importance of mental health in the care work of this hospital área.
