Resgatando potencialidades: um trabalho em campo com idosos institucionalizados

Abstract

An extensionist action, carried out by students of psychology, is reported in a private asylum institution. Group workshops were developed with goals of health promotion and prevention using artistic-expressive resources, cooking and gardening. It was noticed that the intervention favored the coexistence, the recovery of potentialities, having promoted a closer bond between the university and the community
