SUMMARY:

This research, entitled “School Violence and Adolescent Mental Health”, has the general objective of understanding, from a transdisciplinary approach, the view of students entering public schools on the relationship between school violence and mental health. To achieve the main objective, the following specific objectives were defined: to establish the differences between the disciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches with regard to school culture, considering two categories — violence and mental health; to analyze the perception and understanding of school adolescents about violence and mental health; to propose, based on objectives 1 and 2, important elements for the school with regard to the category “welcoming listening” of adolescents. The empirical research, which aims to implement methodological procedures, was consolidated in the qualitative and transdisciplinary approaches. The method used was participant observation, with techniques such as exploratory observation, dialogue circles and semi-structured interviews, whose instruments were notebooks, interview scripts and notes from the dialogue circles. The research was conducted at a public school in the state education system in Recife, and the analysis was based on the techniques of Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco. The theoretical contributions are based on studies on schools, violence, school violence, mental health, adolescents, and transdisciplinarity. The results of the research showed that students regularly experience acts of violence in their families, communities, and schools, and that verbal violence affects their mental health. However, students only report taking care of friends and close people. Thus, we heard from students the need for continued actions in relation to the categories studied. The research indicates the urgency of reflecting on national public policies aimed at combating violence in schools, which, consequently, the mental health security of children and adolescents. Throughout the study, it was observed that, when dealing with topics such as violence and mental health, it is essential to consider the perspective of adolescents in order to consolidate proposals that are effective and efficient. There is a significant social impact by highlighting the relationship between school violence and mental health that can affect the lives of developing people.
