The challenge of social service in building citizenship – child, adolescent and family

Abstract

One of the great challenges within the scope of the child, the adolescent, the family is in the process of exclusion or inclusion experienced and reported in the screening process in the area of Social Service. In this era of social rights, individual and political, we are being challenged by the perpetrators of institutional violence that have been conspicuously punishing the figure of the woman, as the provider of a new profile of the family in Brazil and Santa Catarina. In terms of the new democratic paradigms that are guidelines for the Constitution of 1988, the E.C.A. and LOAS, we are questioning as tow he ther the process contributes to the effective building of citizenship or to social exclusion, taking a road that leads away from democracy. It constitutes a debate based on the concrete experience of the training period and research, experienced by students working with NECAD/FAMÍLIA within the Integrated Project of Family Research: Political, Social and Professional Practices with the aid of CNPq.
