The aim of the study was to report the experience of professionals of a Social Assistance Reference Center in the identification of risk factors present in the life of adolescents accompanied by a Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Links. Inspired by the Auto-Photographic method, the activity launched to young people invited them to register spaces that represent vulnerabilities and social risks, discussing important demands based on their experiences and relationships. The analysis was based on the Bioecological Model of Bronfenbrenner. The exercise highlighted the opportunity to encourage teams to carry out activities like this, and involving other topics (family, leisure, education, for example), allowing a reading of the importance of the engagement of these adolescents when thinking about the present reality. This exercise contributed to the development and expansion of repertoires of abilities, ratifying the importance of preventive interventions.
