Abstract

Within the Family Health Program (PSF) is necessary to know the reality of families in their economic, cultural and social characteristics in order to identify health issues and the populations risk situations to provide comprehensive health care to this community. The multidisciplinary care developed by the PSF provides a more humane treatment and aims to build along with the community a better society, restoring family values, respect, friendship and confidence. In this context, we observe in the daily work at Céu Azul/BH neighborhood the increasing rates of violence and the high number of deaths by violence in the neighborhood in a two-year-period. The observed data confirms the existence of a national problem then has already been showed by several researches and which generates studies and the need for creating and implementing social projects throughout the country: violence. Violence can be understood as a phenomenon that arises and is perpetuated by social problems and serves as a negative indicator of quality of life. In this present health extended view, recognizing the violence as a result of the living conditions and the magnitude that it represents as a cause of morbidity and mortality has become regarded as a published health issue. In this context the health professionals find themselves in the position not only to assist victims of social violence, but also with the role of developing strategies for prevention and overcoming of such events, interacting with civil society and other institutional fields such as education, services social justice, public safety, with social movements, etc. aiming at promoting a society whose values are based in respect citizenship and humanity. In this study, we performed a quick theoretical review on violence and quality of life themes, and studied some successful experiences where investments in security and education have been used as a way to reduce violence in the population in other communities. We propose financial investments in social projects for the neighborhood, starting with an awareness of the local community about the violence personal and communal risks in all its forms, family, urban, sex etc., mainly against children, elderly and adolescents and bringing knowledge about the possible physical and psychological consequences of violence for together we seek possible solutions in our convivial atmosphere. We can implement the few existing resources, but also create a living space by using an abandoned area for construction, with the support and active participation of the community with volunteer and / or paid work, of a daycare center that can offer the whole population public spaces to promote social, cultural, recreational, occupational, sports and leisure activities.
