Abstract(s)
O presente relatório resulta de uma experiência de estágio realizado numa Casa de Acolhimento do distrito do Porto que acolhe 11 crianças em situação de risco ou perigo, com idades compreendidas entre os 0 e os 10 anos. Procura-se neste trabalho refletir acerca de uma intervenção que foi realizada, entre o mês de novembro e março de 2018, junto de um grupo de seis das crianças acolhidas e respetivas famílias.
Tendo em conta as fragilidades diagnosticadas no momento das visitas das famílias às crianças, procurou-se implementar um plano de ação cujo principal objetivo era contribuir para que a interação entre as crianças e seus familiares constituísse um momento de qualidade, quer em termos educativos, quer no que respeita ao aprofundamento dos laços entre ambos.
O planeamento da intervenção realizada passou por procurar responder às seguintes questões: Como transformar o período das visitas num momento rico em aprendizagens e interações gratificantes entre pais e filhos? Como tornar as visitas dos pais aos seus filhos institucionalizados, momentos de expressão de afetos positivos e, consequentemente, de reforço dos seus laços de vinculação? Como contribuir para que esses mesmos progenitores desenvolvam o sentimento de que são capazes de auxiliar os filhos a adquirir aprendizagens importantes para o seu desenvolvimento?
Ainda que o acolhimento residencial seja uma resposta que se pode prolongar no tempo, consideramos que a permanência nesse regime não constitui o projeto de vida mais adequado para uma criança. Com efeito, não basta procurar resolver os problemas que surgem no imediato, mas projetar as crianças no futuro, o qual, para muitas delas, passará pela reintegração familiar.
O trabalho realizado permitiu-nos concluir que o investimento nos momentos de visita dos familiares às crianças é uma dimensão a priorizar na intervenção em contexto de acolhimento. Apesar do trabalho desenvolvido na Casa de Acolhimento onde estagiámos ter proporcionado oportunidades de aprendizagem para todos os atores envolvidos (famílias, técnicos e crianças), assim como a troca de afetos positivos entre familiares e crianças, durante o período de visita, consideramos que existe, ainda, um longo caminho a percorrer no que respeita ao investimento que deve ser feito entre a referida Casa de Acolhimento e as famílias biológicas. Sabendo que as competências parentais são indissociáveis das oportunidades sociais que os progenitores têm acesso, não se pode esperar que as suas competências educativas sejam distintas das que conduziram à retirada das crianças sem que exista um investimento profundo na mudança das suas condições de vida e nos estímulos a que estão submetidos.
The present report results from an internship carried out in a shelter home in the Oporto district, sheltering 11 children in dangerous or risk situations, between the ages of 0 and 10. It is sought in this report to reflect on an intervention that was carried out, between November 2017 and March 2018, with a group of six of the sheltered children and their respective families. Considering the fragilities diagnosed during the families’ visits to the children, it was sought to implement a plan of action, the main objective of which being to contribute to improve the interaction between the children and their families so as to turn this into a quality moment, both from the educational aspect, as well as in terms of deepening families ties. The planning of this intervention sought to respond to the following questions: How to transform the visitation period into a moment rich in learning and rewarding interactions between parents and children? How to turn the visits of the parents to their institutionalized children into moments of expression of positive affections, and consequently, of reinforcing family bonds? How to contribute to the development by the progenitors of the feeling that they can help their children acquire knowledge important to their development? Even though residential sheltering is a solution that can be prolonged over time, it is considered that permanence in that regime does not constitute the most adequate life project for a child. Thus, it is insufficient to solve momentary problems, but is necessary to project the children in the future, where, for most of them, this will be their reintegration in the family. The work carried out allowed us to conclude that the investment in family visits is a dimension to prioritize in interventions within a shelter context. Although the work developed in the Shelter Home where the internship was carried out provided learning opportunities for all the players involved (families, technicians and children), as well as the exchange of positive affections between families and their children during the visitation period, we considered that there is a long way to go as regards the investment that has to be made by both the said Shelter Home and the biological families. Knowing that parental competences are inseparable from the social opportunities parents have access to, one cannot expect their educational competencies to differ from those that led to the withdrawal of children without a deep investment in changing their living conditions and the stimuli to which they are subject.
