Science and Society
Projects
A major objective of integrating science and society is to ensure that scientific discoveries are accessible and understandable to a wider community. This extends beyond the field of child and adolescent mental health, reaching all areas of science. The dissemination of scientific knowledge plays a crucial role in building a more informed and aware society, capable of making evidence-based decisions and addressing the complex challenges of today’s world.
Moreover, science and society are intrinsically interconnected. Society helps shape the direction of scientific research through its demands, concerns, and priorities. Conversely, science also contributes to society, by introducing technological advancements, innovative medical treatments, and solutions to global challenges.
Specific projects like those mentioned above are essential, as they apply research to deliver tangible benefits for society. They may entail developing evidence-based intervention programs to improve child and adolescent mental health, as well as initiatives that raise awareness about the importance of healthy child development and the role of citizens in this process.
Sharing content about science and society is essential for facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experiences with the public and broadening the understanding of mental health in Brazil is an equally critical need. With this goal in mind, we run communication campaigns on our website and social media platforms, along with specific projects in this field, such as:
Ame Sua Mente na Escola
The Ame Sua Mente project was created to explore the potential for promoting mental health within the school environment while simultaneously contributing scientific and technical knowledge to educate and raise awareness among Brazilian society on the subject.
Efforts to raise public sympathy for and understanding of neurodiversity and the complexity of mental health, combined with training educators not only in the subject but also in strategies for management, prevention, and stigma reduction regarding mental disorders, contribute to creating a more inclusive and healthier society.
