As práticas corporais como dispositivo de cuidado em saúde mental e a praia como espaço de desinstitucionalização

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand the potential of mental health actions on the beach, especially physical activities, from deinstitutionalization as a care perspective. This investigation, with a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach, triangulates methods that combine a literature review with experience reports from the “Saúde Mental na Praia” extension project. The review carried out and the reports collected allow us to conclude that there are still challenges in overcoming the act that involves leaving the institution for the beach, marked by controlled time, towards a process of deinstitutionalization.
