Right to Family Life and Interdisciplinary: Experience of the Mutirão with Families in the Judiciary of Amazonas

Abstract

This article discusses family life for children and adolescents as a fundamental right and reports on the interdisciplinary experience developed within the Amazonas State Court of Justice (TJAM) through an initiative initially called Psychosocial Intervention Week (SIP) and currently known as Interdisciplinary Mutirão com Famílias (MIF). This initiative was conceived by social work and psychology professionals from the Family Court Advisory Center and carried out in conjunction with the technical team of CEJUSC-Famílias. This is a descriptive and exploratory experience report, developed based on the systematization of institutional practices and the collection of data produced between 2022 and 2024. The methodology adopted is based on interdisciplinary legal work, Freirean pedagogy, and the historical-critical perspective of working with families (Mioto, 2004). The actions developed prioritize qualified listening, conflict mediation, and the promotion of parental co-responsibility as self-compositional strategies. It is concluded that the MIF constitutes an innovative practice in the performance of interdisciplinary teams in the judiciary and faces the difficulties highlighted in the survey on interdisciplinary teams carried out by the CNJ (2023), with a positive impact on reducing procedural delays and expanding access to rights, although it still faces challenges for its consolidation and expansion.
