Abstract

Objective: to identify the support network of children and adolescents living in Home Shelter. Method: qualitative, descriptive and participatory study, conducted with 12 children and adolescents from 10 to 16 years of age living in a Home Shelter reference for this population, located in southern Brazil. Data were produced between August and September 2021, from the Creative and Sensitive Method with the Creativity and Sensitivity Dynamics Talking Map. The enunciations were recorded, transcribed and submitted to Discourse Analysis in the French current. Results: the social support network of children and adolescents is made up of their families, friends and part of the institution's professionals. The institutional support network is composed of Home Shelter, school, health services and projects developed in partnership with other entities. Final thoughts: the support network of institutionalized children and adolescents offers emotional, material, instrumental and informational support, valuing the interpersonal to institutional relations, which highlights the need for professionals who work in this scenario to be trained to meet the physical and emotional demands, in addition to acting for the social integration of children and adolescents.
