1. 1. The Socialization and Bond Strengthening Service (SCFV) is a result of the reordering set forth in CIT Resolution No. 01, dated February 21, 2013, which unified the Child Labor Eradication Programs, Projovem Adolescents Program, and Group Assistance Program for the Elderly. It is a service organized into groups to broaden cultural exchanges and experiences among users, strengthen family and community ties, and develop a sense of belonging and identity. The SCFV has a preventive and proactive nature, focused on the defense and affirmation of rights and the development of users’ capacities and potential, aiming to address social vulnerabilities. Its focus is on offering socialization and community-building activities, with interventions in socially vulnerable contexts to strengthen bonds and prevent situations of social exclusion. These efforts are guided by the service’s core principles: Social Integration, the Right to Be, and Social Participation. Within SUAS (Unified Social Assistance System), reordering represents an advancement in consolidating and organizing social assistance services aimed at children, adolescents, and the elderly, strengthening the principle of decentralized management across entities and respecting the diversity of group work practices with the social assistance public in each territory. For SCFV services, it is recommended that 50% of the audience consist primarily of adolescents and elderly individuals in the following situations: social isolation; child labor; experiencing violence and/or neglect; out of school or with more than a two-year educational gap; in institutional care; under socio-educational measures; released from socio-educational measures; situations of abuse and/or sexual exploitation; under protective measures of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA); adolescents in street situations; and vulnerability concerning people with disabilities. The other half of the audience will consist of spontaneous demand, active searches, referrals from the social assistance network, and other public policies, as evaluated and referred by CRAS, in accordance with Resolution No. 109, dated November 11, 2009 – National Typification of Socio-assistance Services.

       

      Complementary actions with families and the community aim to protect and develop children, adolescents, and elderly individuals, and to strengthen family and community ties. The goals are to ensure safe spaces for group, community, and social interaction; to foster relationships of affection, solidarity, and mutual respect; to expand the informational, artistic, and cultural universe of adolescents, while encouraging the development of their potential and talents, and fostering their civic education; to stimulate participation in public life and develop competencies for a critical understanding of social reality and the contemporary world; to contribute to the insertion, reinsertion, and retention of adolescents in the educational system; and to offer experiences that value the elderly’s life experiences and contribute to a healthy and autonomous aging process.
