Comissão de Avaliação Disciplinar: a resposta frente ao adoecimento de jovens da Fundação Casa

Abstract

The central questions in this dissertation are about the current institutional model of Fundação Casa, created from a neoliberal logic within the capitalist system, and how it affects the mental health of young people in detention. It also seeks to identify what response is given institutionally when there are cases of suicide and self-harm within the units and whether this response is in line with what is expected of Social Service. The research is based on the critical theory of Marxist inspiration, guided by the principles of historical-dialectical materialism. It is based on authors who study the Social Question, Social Policy, violence, mental health, Human Rights, Public Policies for children and adolescents and the racial question. The study of the social question in contemporary times will start from the context of the dominance of Financial Capital and the General Law of Accumulation, concepts developed by Professor Maria Carmelita Yazbek and contemplated in the works provided in the bibliography. Without prejudice, the work will also rely on the theoretical references of Marilda Iamamoto and José Paulo Netto, with regard to the panorama of financial capital and social relations and the study of social policy and inequality resulting from the bourgeois order, respectively. This dissertation was based on the context of Brazil's structural racism, the result of a slave culture that lasted for years in the country, as well as exploitation from European colonization. This perspective encompasses the study of the social question and social relations, since the Brazilian working class, the majority of whom are black, face the oppression and inequality resulting from this system on a daily basis. In order to deepen the study of the Fundação Casa, this dissertation uses the materials available on the institution's website, which deal with the internal rules and regulations and Technical Notes on professional work within the Foundation. The dissertation also analyzes legal-normative documents from the legislative evolution of children's and adolescents' rights over the course of the century
