A espiritualidade como forma de cuidado de pessoas com transtornos psicossociais no âmbito educacional

Abstract

The theme of this research is spirituality in schools as a possible form of care for students with psychosocial disorders. The study investigates how the appreciation of spirituality within the school environment can contribute to coping with these disorders by promoting well-being and emotional health. To this end, it analyzes how spiritual values can be integrated into everyday school life. This work adopts a concept of spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition, while respecting the plurality of beliefs and expressions present in the school context. The choice of Christian spirituality is justified by the fact that the research is situated within the scope of a Theology course. As a product of this research, two informational brochures will be developed with the aim of supporting the implementation of the appreciation of spirituality as a pedagogical resource in addressing psychosocial disorders. These materials will guide inclusive pedagogical practices that are sensitive to diversity, in addition to proposing teacher training strategies focused on professional development. It is concluded that the conscious and responsible appreciation of spirituality in schools can become an effective resource for promoting mental health and coping with psychosocial disorders. Besides offering emotional support, this approach encourages humanizing pedagogical practices and expands opportunities for critical reflection on values and interpersonal relationships. Thus, educational strategies that integrate the spiritual dimension of students respond not only to emerging educational demands but also contribute to the construction of more inclusive, welcoming, and developmentally committed school environments for all those involved. The adopted methodology will be bibliographic in nature, based on a thorough analysis of primary and secondary sources such as books, articles, and specialized journals, while the method includes bibliographic mapping and critical comparison of the selected materials.
