Um olhar fenomenológico-existencial sobre a inserção psicossocial: a experiência do ponto de economia solidária do Butantã e seus trabalhadores usuários da saúde mental

Abstract

The present research discussed solidarity economy, its emergence, principles, and possibilities, as well as its relationship with mental health. For a deeper articulation, the text focused on the experience of the "Solidarity Economy and Culture Point of Butantã" (a public facility linked to the Health Department of the City Hall of São Paulo that enables dialogue between Solidarity Economy, users of CAPS, and the local community). Regarding this space, the research outlined what happens there, its objectives, who is involved in the project, among other aspects. Within this framework, the research question guiding the study was: what are the psychosocial impacts generated on the participants of the Solidarity Economy and Culture Point of Butantã from the work they perform, and how does this manifest considering, above all, their insertion context in mental health? Therefore, the discussion, weaving theoretical perspectives and participants' reports, in the study, was carried out from a Phenomenological-Existential approach. Thus, this research aimed to establish a possible dialogue - with similarities and divergences - between mental health, work, and the meanings of experiences that can arise from it through interviews with six participants from the location. It was understood that, although there are still difficulties presented by the field of solidarity economy, the possibilities of experiences and resignifications it presents are fundamental, especially when considering the realm of mental health
