Building bridges to equity: The right to health for adolescent offenders
Keywords
Abstract
The Foundation for Socio-Educational Care (FASE) is the body in charge of managing the implementation of socio-educational measures of internment and semi-freedom for adolescents who have committed infractions. In view of this, the present work aims to report the experience of students of the third semester of the Dentistry course, at the Franciscan University, during an extension action, whose purpose was to promote formative dialogues of general and oral self-care practices with socio-educational adolescents, residents of Fase, in the municipality of Santa Maria/RS. The information presented in this work was acquired through an extension activity that was carried out on May 16, 2023, with the intention of offering health promotion and prevention, through a lecture and practical demonstration on oral health. This experience showed us that health professionals, regardless of the area they work in, must transcend their prejudices, assumptions, and judgments, entering into the commitment we have to bring health education to all.
