Articulações entre saúde mental e as escolas : pistas para construir um trabalho intersetorial

Abstract

On the subject of care practices in child and adolescent mental health, we realize the importance of building a network. Intersectoriality is becoming a key principle in actualizing an attention to the youth, especially given that education constantly plays a very important role and requires careful articulation. Considering the increase in school demands for support in the matter of children and adolescents with so-called learning issues, this work presents an analysis of the practices generated in the crossing of mental health and education. In order to realize this, we consider our experiences in the field, a few paths of an intervention-research and the encounters that came out of it: in Vitória’s Center for Childhood and Adolescence Psychosocial Attention (CAPSi), we were part of a group which involved researchers, workers of the service and parents of children who underwent treatment with psychotropic drugs, using the Brazilian Guide for autonomous management of medication (GGAM-BR) in order to think the crossing of educational and mental health demands. We also consider our experience in an intersectorial network in Jesus de Nazareth (Vitória/ES), which focuses on educational matters in the territory.
