LIFE - Integral Appreciation of Adolescence

What is it?

In 2007, Viva e Deixe Viver began to interact with children's patients who had reached adolescence, between one story and another, showed courage, persistence, and much intelligence to claim that the health environment could also be a space of culture, information, art, and leisure. Therefore, with the support of Ideafix Institutional Studies and partnership with Santa Casa de Misericórdia de SP and Emilio Ribas Infectiology Institute, they carried out this same year the research with health professionals and adolescent patients with chronic diseases, with the objective of identifying the gaps that exist in the humanization of the treatment of these patients and the main demands of adolescents.
