CRAS e as possibilidades de intervenção do assistente social: uma análise a partir da experiência do estágio supervisionado no CRAS Paraboi em São Borja/RS

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the material and immaterial conditions of professionals in unveiling the social demands of users, providing possibilities for responses to the social demands met in the Social Assistance Reference Centers - CRAS, considering that these demands are intrinsic to the more varied expressions of the social question. Thus, this work will deal with the protective elements of the Social Assistance Policy, with emphasis on social security and social assistance rights, with the intention of giving visibility, publicity and divulging two essential categories for professional practice in Social Work. Then, the role of CRAS will be analyzed, as well as the services and benefits offered by this unit. Continuing, we will discuss the professional performance of the Social Worker, drawing attention to their ethical responsibilities with emphasis on professional attributions and competences. Finally, it outlines the observations learned during the supervised internship period I, which led to some concerns regarding the possibilities of intervention by this professional in the face of the social demands presented by the subjects assisted, which require interventions beyond immediacy. As a result, we can indicate that a set of material and immaterial difficulties compromise professional responses, from the absence of a public budget for the provision of cash transfer and eventual benefits, to the physical structure of the space in which care is offered. These are fundamental requirements to enable qualified responses that meet the basic and social needs of users.
