A inclusão social de usuários em residências terapêuticas e a reinserção social de pessoas com transtornos mentais

Abstract

This study analyzes the social reintegration of users in therapeutic residences and the social reintegration of people with mental disorders. The Psychiatric Reform, initiated in 1989 and consolidated by Law No. 10.216/2001, promoted deinstitutionalization and the creation of Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS), followed by the establishment of Therapeutic Residences as key components of a new model of mental health care. These services aim to provide humane treatment and social reintegration for people with mental disorders. The research, based on a systematic literature review, identifies strategies and challenges faced by Therapeutic Residences in promoting inclusion, social reintegration, and deinstitutionalization. The results highlight that, despite progress, obstacles persist, such as insufficient resources, lack of public policies, and social resistance. Therapeutic Residences emerge as essential spaces for rehabilitation, offering dignified housing and emotional support. The study concludes that the implementation of inclusive public policies is fundamental to ensuring rights and promoting citizenship, reinforcing the importance of comprehensive and humane mental health care.
