This experience was developed through a Participatory Action Research process. For the critical analysis, experiences were systematized to achieve a critical interpretation of the lived reality, highlighting the project's main achievements and limitations. It is noteworthy that those who participated in the activity took ownership of some public spaces. This paper presents a critical analysis of a praxis experience in Clinical-Community Psychology with young people, focused on strengthening positive mental health tools through art. This experience was developed through a Participatory Action Research process. For the critical analysis, experiences were systematized to achieve a critical interpretation of the lived reality, highlighting the project's main achievements and limitations. It is noteworthy that those who participated in the activity took ownership of some public spaces, achieving better school-family ties and fostering personal and social agency through interventions in close social circles and at the community level.
