Introduction: Convergent Care Research allows the direct participation of researchers in their area of expertise, promoting practical feedback based on their expertise. Objective: To reflect on the contribution of Convergent Care Research to the construction of theoretical-practical knowledge about mental health care. Rationale: Theoretical reflection on the contributions of Convergent Care Research, as a methodological framework, in research in the field of mental health care, in the devices of the Psychosocial Care Network. The focus is on the essentiality of the attributes of convergent care research and mental health care practice. Conclusion: The studies converge convergence in their actions, contemplating the method adopted, by simultaneity, by theoretical-practical articulation of knowledge, in the spaces of research production, culminating in new technologies of mental health care.
