This research search to understand the implications of the participation in an art-identity group in the movement of the Movement of Community Mental Health of the Good Garden (MSMCBJ) youths' identity, organization non government that works in Fortaleza in the neighborhood of the Grande Bom Jardim located in the Secretaria Executiva Regional - SER V. Such an initiative felt starting from our previous insert in the activities of MSMCBJ that it guaranteed an approximation with the community and with the employees of the institution allowing this research. Another reason was the existence of agroup with art-identity accomplished with the young population that participates the courses offered by ONG. This way, our investigation had two specific objectives: 1. to analyze the characters that appear in the movement of the youths' identity during the assiduous participation in the art-identity group; 2. to understand the direction of the expression and metamorphosis of the identity by the new characters' presence and the disappearance of other. The relevance of this research is the fact of the art-identity as proposal of facilitation of groups it was not systematized. Besides, the work with youths of a popular neighborhood of the capital from Ceará a lot can contribute as alternative of facilitation of groups with this population. We used the contributions of the Community Psychology theory that it looks for to facilitate through the conscience, the development of the community subjects; of Biodança a system of human development that looks for the affective integration, the organic renewal and the learning of the original functions of the life; and of the Educação Biocêntrica, that uses Biodança as way in the teaching-learning process, looking for the construction of the knowledge starting from the invigoration of the student's identity so that this can learn how to live, being connected in a deep way with the life. Like this, through the method facilitar-pesquisando with a group formed by 32 young with 16 to 20 years, we accomplished questionnaires, culture circles, encounter circles and existence reports as instruments to collect the data. We chose 8 young as participants because: 1. the density of the information offered by these participants with a significant content for an analysis with quality, and 2. the participation frequency in the weekly encounters of the group, accompanied by signature in a list, characterizing a superior percentage to the 64%. After the transcription and code of the data, we made thematic analysis. We concluded that the art-identity group acts in the construction of an identidade-amor through the positive transformation from identity: it works in the healthy aspects of the identity (like aggression, perception of himself value, intimacy, self-regulation and empathy); it woks in the expression from the vitality, creativity and affectivity; it strengthens the life love; and it acts in the personal value and personal power.
