O protagonismo da população usuária do CAPS Dr. Manoel Sabino Costa pela via do direito à saúde mental: pressupostos normativos e socioeducativos

Abstract

The Sanitary Reformation Movement started in the 1970s – whose proposes resulted in the universality of health rights formalized with the 1988 Federal Constitution –, contributed to broden the debate and the access to health to all the population through the creation of the Unified Health System (SUS). Linked to this perspective, the Psychiatric Reform, by following the struggle efforts, became a turning point in the history of acknowledgement of rights in the field of mental health.

From the methodological point of view, our inter- vential proposal is based on bibliographical research in which we’ve reached authors that discuss themes regarding social policies, health policy, mental health and psy- chiatric reform, such as Barbosa et al. (2016), Costa (2014) and Farias (2002), among others. We’ve also used documental research, resorting to legal documents – such as the 1988 Federal Constitution, orders and ministerial decrees –, besides others that concern the retrograde changes in the Mental Health Policy, processed at the end of the 21st century’s second decade. This paper aims to potentialize the par- ticipation of users in workshops, when the colective activities are back, so that they can discuss and assimilate the contents, being able to understand the meaning and the importance of the efforts for the garantee of the CAPS benefits and services, as well as acknowledging
