Práticas corporais em cena na saúde mental : potencialidades de uma oficina de futebol em um centro de atenção psicossocial de Porto Alegre

Abstract

Physical education has been emerging from the field of mental health in order to contribute to the therapeutic process for mental health service users, e.g. the Psychosocial Care Centres (PSCCs). In this study, we aimed at assessing how important is a football workshop, which would occur at Porto Alegre, for PSCC users. This study is both qualitative and ethnographic. The active participation of users arisen from the football workshop was enormously important for this study. Such participation provided interesting moments of an important role for the participants who had not experienced such moments before.
