Terapia Comunitária Integrativa para promoção da saúde em acadêmicos de uma Universidade da Terceira Idade

Abstract

It is the presentation of the results verified in the scope of mental health, based on empirical research, through the application of soft care technology conceptualized as Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) circles in an academic community of the Open University of the Third Age (UNATI) of the Western Paraná State University/Foz do Iguaçu in partnership with the Extension Project of the Federal University of Latin American Integration “Integrating UNILA with conversation circles” from 05/04/18 to 05/10/18. The study demonstrated that the psychosocial methodology developed in the ICT circles has the potential to equip participants to face the crisis of integrity, mobilizing a protected scenario to wisely appreciate the path taken in their own lives, understanding and integrating the path of other participants, confronting the experiences, as conscience, from collective experience and overcoming challenges within the same generation.
