Adolescer na pandemia: desafios e possibilidades

Abstract

The study seeks to understand the experience of adolescents during the covid-19 pandemic. Based on a qualitative action research methodology, we sought to understand, through therapeutic groups, the feelings and experiences of adolescents through online chatting circles. The adolescents brought up themes related to the search for identity, remote teaching, social distancing, and the importance of the online group as a therapeutic space. In front of the groups, a place was seen as essential for the adolescents to be able to talk about what anguished them. Therefore, there is a need for greater inclusion of the topic "mental health" in school discussions, new studies aimed at understanding the impacts of group work with adolescents, in addition to the difficulties faced by them during the pandemic period.
