The aim of this qualitative study was to analyze the experience of an incubation team in a supportive undertaking regarding mental healthcare clients. Interviews were conducted with seven team members, and the data were analyzed using content data analysis. The analysis revealed four categories: considering incubation as a process - learning and finding the meanings of support; pointing out the easy and difficult aspects in the process of constructing the undertaking; seeing results of the inclusion through work - noticing the clients' improvement; and pointing out the need for changes in the process, expecting greater autonomy of clients and formalization of the undertaking. The experience revealed itself as a new and fulfilling job for the team, allowing for learning, exchanging knowledge and attachment. We identified that the technician plays the role of educator/facilitator of the process. In addition to the simple aspects and the recognition of the relevance of the work in terms of the clients' lives, the team faces challenges in generating satisfactory revenue.Downloads
