“But in my season”:

meetings between generations in a living center - experience report

Abstract

From the Psychiatric Reform movement, there is the creation of substitute services in the health network, aiming at the restructuring of care, in which individuals were previously seen only as symptomatic bodies that should be isolated. In this paradigm, what united people in the asylum was exclusion, whereas today, in the Coexistence Centers (CECO), what unites people is precisely the coexistence, the concrete social inclusion of individuals. The CECO emerges as a device resulting from the Deinstitutionalization process and its main characteristics are intersectorality and territoriality, so the objective is to discuss, based on an experience report, the power of the encounter between different generations in the CECO considering that intergenerational contact it opens the range of opportunities with regard to the experience of new modes of subjectification for the subjects involved.
