Psychology at CRAS: an interdisciplinary practice

Camila Santos de Melo and Elisabete Agrela de Andrade

Abstract: 

The present work aimed to reflect on the experience of a psychology student in a Social Assistance Reference Center, in order to identify the participation of the psychologist in the CRAS interface. In addition to the bibliographic review, an observation visit and documentary analysis were performed as study methodology. From the results found, it was noted that the theoretical references show the importance of the interface between psychology and social service. However, the reality found shows that there is a gap between theory and everyday practice. This partnership still needs to be fostered both in the work of the institution and in the academic discourse, thus contributing to the adequate service of the user.
