This article aims to highlight the work experience in Social Psychology developed by the teaching, research and extension group called "Group processes and identity articulations: possible partnerships and interactions with public health and social inclusion policies" (PGAI), linked to the Laboratory of Research and Psychosocial Intervention (LAPIP) at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). It seeks, above all, to report how the knowledge and actions of the PGAI, supported by Critical Social Psychology and its analysis categories, can contribute to the emancipation of some populations of São João del-Rei. It is also intended to identify how the group process can strengthen the construction of local public policies, in order to promote social transformation. It was possible to notice that the praxis that the group has been exercising has enabled the implementation of changes in the daily lives of the people involved who, marked by some axes of inequality and oppression, are in a situation of social vulnerability. In this sense, the practices carried out allow the public involved to both develop a critical awareness and carry out actions for social change, thus favoring better living conditions and new existential meanings.
