SAÚDE MENTAL ESCOLAR:

Da promoção ao enfrentamento da violência em comunidade escolar.

Abstract

This extended abstract describes an outreach program run by the Psychology course at
the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS), which took place in a municipal nursery school
in Campo Grande. The activity was aimed at children's emotional development, helping them to
express and understand their feelings. During the workshop, a child's account of domestic violence
suffered by her mother empirically demonstrated the importance of psychologists in the school
context and intersectoral coordination in cases of violence.
