Do silêncio à voz: a experiência da construção de uma oficina de rádio em um centro de convivência no município de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

Community centers, as alternative settings for mental health interventions, are privileged spaces for history lives constructing. Professors of Occupational Therapy in Federal University of Minas Gerais, through the discipline of Clinic Practice in Occupational Therapy II, developed, in last three semesters, in partnership with a community center of Belo Horizonte and UFMG Educativa Radio, a therapeutic workshop with patients. This paper objective is to describe the workshop’s experience. The first idea was that the patients got their own voice. When suspended, intentionally, the technic and the clinic, was possible to notice that the potential to assume their own history of life is inherent to them all and, maybe, we are just temporary in this process.
