A problemática do suicídio e a intervenção do Serviço Social na saúde mental

Abstract

This work aims to address the issue of suicide and Social Work intervention in mental health, in order to emphasize the importance of discussing suicide, as well as the role of the social worker in mental health devices and in cases of suicide. This work was carried out through bibliographical research and seeks to support suicide based on its historicity in society. We treat the psychiatric and health reforms as significant milestones for the mental health policy and for the devices of the Psychosocial Care Network - RAPS, and also for the role of the Social Service as a health professional. In addition, we highlight the fact that suicide is considered a public health problem and that it is surrounded by stigmas and taboos that trigger the difficulty of working, discussing, approaching, producing, and intervening on said problem. Thus, at the end of this research, we highlight the relevance of the theme and how fundamental and presente it is for society.
