O Genograma para compreensão do processo migratório de famílias em vulnerabilidade social

Abstract

The Social Work with Families carried out under the Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) encompasses several challenges in its materialization. One of them is the use of appropriate instruments that allow a more comprehensive understanding of the subject's construction, of the inequalities that affect him, of the strategies to face vulnerability and of the contextualization of this process in relation to the territory in which he lives. In this article, we describe the experience of using the genogram in social work with families in situations of vulnerability in the context of migration. The genogram proved to be an important tool for understanding building social bonds in the migratory process. This resource made it possible for both professionals and families to understand life history, migration dynamics, the structure of inequalities that motivate the migratory flow and the survival strategies experienced by families in the face of social exclusion.
