Abstract(s)
O artigo descreve e reflecte acerca de como uma intervenção
comunitária, inspirada nos princípios e valores
da Psicologia Comunitária, tem vindo a ser implementada
nos últimos vinte anos na área da saúde mental e
como contribuiu e influenciou a mudança do sistema
de saúde mental em Portugal. No decurso deste período
foi estruturado um sistema de suporte de base comunitária
de modo a proporcionar serviços de habitação e emprego
apoiados, enfatizando a utilização dos contextos naturais,
como as escolas e empresas regulares e toda a miríade
de recursos sociais disponíveis para a população em
geral.
Uma abordagem contextualista e ecológica da intervenção
individual tem vindo a ser desenvolvida focalizando-
se na mobilização dos recursos naturais, na
expansão das redes e suportes sociais e na manutenção
das pessoas com experiência de doença mental activas
na vida da comunidade. O movimento da ajuda-mútua
tem também sido um contributo crucial para a melhoria e
fortalecimento do papel social das pessoas com doença
mental.
Este sistema foi inspirado na teoria de empowerment e
na missão do recovery, operacionalizados através da
participação comunitária.
ABSTRACT: The article describes and provides critical reflection on how a community intervention inspired on the principles and values of community psychology as been implemented over the last 20 years, and how it has influenced the mental health system in Portugal. During this period a community based support system has been structured promoting supported housing and employment, enhancing the use of natural contexts, such as schools, regular companies e all sorts of social resources available for the general public. A contextualist and ecological approach for individual intervention has also been developed, focusing on the mobilization of natural resources, the expansion of social networks and supports, and the maintenance of people with an experience of mental illness active in community contexts. The contributions of the mutual help movements are recognized as crucial for the betterment and strengthening the social role played by those who have an experience of mental illness. This system has been inspired in the empowerment theory and the mission of recovery, operacionalised through community participation.
