O trabalho do Assistente Social nos Centro de Referência de Assistência Social de Juiz de Fora sob a perspectiva das dissertações de mestrado do Programa de Pós-graduação em Serviço Social da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), no período de 2007 a 2022

Abstract

This Final Course Project aims to reveal the postgraduate productions of the Faculty of Social Work that researched the work of social workers in Social Assistance Reference Centres, from 2007 to 2022, drawing a parallel with social assistance policy in Juiz de Fora. Methodologically, we worked with a bibliographic and documentary review, surveying the dissertations and systematising the content they covered. We analysed the constitution of social policies in Brazil under monopoly capitalism to delve into Social Assistance Policy in Brazil, focusing on SUAS. Next, we present the reality of Social Assistance Policy in the municipality of Juiz de Fora. In this sense, we chose to select and analyse works that address the work of social workers at the CRAS in Juiz de Fora. We noticed that the debate on the work of social workers in the CRAS of Juiz de Fora is parallel to the temporality of social assistance policy in the municipality, highlighting concerns about policy implementation, working conditions, and professional qualifications. Furthermore, we understand that there is a need to foster debate and discussion about the work of social workers and social assistance, with the requirement to enrich and guide the technical qualities of professionals, as well as to affirm the critical and cutting-edge position of academic productions in defending and supporting professionals in their daily work.
