Cracolândia in question: possible approaches and public policies

The seminar “Cracolândia in question: approaches and possible public policies” seeks to promote a space for dialogue and learning about the inclusion of the drug issue in the public health system. From the perspective of experts and mediated by a psychiatrist with over ten years of experience in the region known as "Cracolândia", several aspects related to the topic will be addressed.

There are around 12 hours of excellent content, with topics such as: intersectionality, drug use as a health issue and its insertion in the Unified Health System (SUS) and the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS), prohibitionism and harm reduction and therapeutic communities and alternatives that value the subject's autonomy.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, students also gain a unique in-person experience at the Institute of Psychiatry at USP's Hospital das Clínicas.

At the end of the course, the professional will have knowledge about raising awareness and improving public policies aimed at the issue of alcohol and drug use, with an emphasis on experiences and lessons learned about the Cracolândia region.
