Fiocruz’s Free Course Aims to Strengthen Care Spaces
The spots for Fiocruz’s free course are part of an improvement project that aims to update knowledge about mental health and psychosocial care.
The proposal arises from the increasing need for environments prepared to welcome adolescents and young people in a humanized way.
Thus, the content covers everything from fundamental concepts to practical strategies that can be applied in education, health, social assistance, public safety, and other related fields.
Training Structured in Three Essential Pillars
To ensure a comprehensive approach, Fiocruz has defined three central pillars for the course:
Transdisciplinarity – integration of diverse knowledge, promoting dialogue between different areas of knowledge.
Intersectorality – collaboration between sectors and professionals, reinforcing the importance of joint actions in mental health care.
Strengthening the Rights Guarantee System – empowering participants to act as agents of transformation within the services that support adolescents and young people.
These foundations make the Fiocruz free course a relevant opportunity for those seeking to better understand the psychosocial demands of this population and improve their professional practice.
Who Can Enroll in Fiocruz’s Spots?
The training is aimed at professionals who work directly with adolescents and young people. This includes areas such as education, health, social assistance, and public safety.
However, anyone interested in the topic can also participate, as there are 50,000 spots, increasing access to training.

Enrollment will be open from October 21, 2025, to March 22, 2026, and the entire training will be conducted online, with a workload of 180 hours.
