SICARI, Aline Amaral; OLIVEIRA, Tamara Rossi de  y  PEREIRA, Eliane Regina. Discussion groups at CRAS: questioning the poverty and its impacts. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.2, pp. 88-101. ISSN 1677-2970.

This experience report is an excerpt of a work experience in the Psychology field held at the Social Assistance Reference Center (Centro de Referência de Assistência Social - CRAS) in a city in Minas Gerais state of Brazil. With the establishment of a discussion group among users and following the working routine at CRAS, we are questioning the traditional speeches about the poverty and the social assistance policies. As a result of this work, it has been made evident that their professional practice legitimates the perpetuation of social inequity and blames the subject for its social condition. Furthermore, we highlight groups of discussion as a potent space for the emersion of new voices that therefore allow situations of fragility to be heard and to receive proper and singular attention.

Palabras clave : poverty; social assistance; groups.
