(Des)articulações e (im)possibilidades de uma clínica escola em rede: uma reflexão ética e política

Abstract

This article is about a research report that aimed to investigate possibilities of articulation between the Psychology Clinic of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and the networking of the Centers for Psychosocial Attention in Mental Health (CAPS) in Fortaleza, for understanding of networking and the functioning of health services, especially in secondary care. and, finally, to verify if Clínica Escola can be integrated into the health network. The former coordinator of the UFC School Clinic, the current coordinator of the UFC School Clinic and an advisor to the Mental Health Care Cell were interviewed. We find important points of reflection, among them the relevance of seeking understanding about the functioning of the Clinical School of Psychology of the UFC and networking as a key to strengthen interactions and foster a greater engagement of health devices, as well as, of a more qualified and assertive service to society. However, there is still a long way to go that goes through joint actions and public policies, as well as the effort and interest of members of both institutions (city hall and SEP / clinics-schools) to include them in the health network .
