NOTÍCIAS DA BAJUKA: percalços e pistas na produção de saúde mental indígena warao em João Pessoa a partir de relato de experiência de estágio

Abstract

The present work aims to reflect on issues of mental suffering among the Venezuelan Warao indigenous population based in João Pessoa - PB, based on an internship experience report alongside the Pastoral Service of Migrants - NE (SPM-NE). The theoretical foundation was worked from the schizoanalysis created by Deleuze and Guattari, along with anti-colonial literature, such as Aníbal Quijano, Frantz Fanon and Suely Rolnik. A brief historical overview of the indigenous issue in Paraíba was raised, as well as the structure of indigenous health care in the SUS today. In the internship experience, mishaps were encountered, namely: a) difficulties in negotiating care with the Warao due to poor linguistic and academic preparation; b) high degree of socioeconomic vulnerability of the sheltered groups added to the incipient assistance flow in the city; c) DSEI's difficulty in inserting itself in this care network. In this context, possible care production clues were listed: a) construction of a transversal network with state actors; b) investment in expanding the existential territory and in individualized care; c) psychosocial reception based on access to information and intercultural dialogue; d) construction of a warao care line in the SUS. It is concluded that this is a complex demand to be worked on in an intersectoral and multidisciplinary way, demanding craft production of mental health, based on comprehensive, singular and continuous care.
