Official national studies show that, in Brazil the experimental consumption of
alcohol occurs between 10 and 12 years of age, something worrisome, because
the earlier, the greater the risk of developing abuse and/or addiction. As for illicit
drugs, the more consumed by teenagers are inhalants, marijuana, anti-anxiety
drugs, cocaine and amphetamines, respectively. Highlights that, in this phase of
life, the brain is also in training and the use of drugs can interfere in this process,
with important consequences such as damage in memory, concentration and
development of skills. Furthermore, under its effect, teens are likely to engage in
violence as fights and traffic accidents and sexual risk behaviors, exposing yourself
to sexually transmitted diseases and early pregnancy. In this way, it is essential
that professionals who have great contact with these young people as teachers, for
example, are trained to deal with this situation, helping them to reflect on the
problem of the use of psychoactive substances (SPA) in the context of
adolescence. That said, this study presents the process of elaboration and
evaluation of a training program for the training of high school teachers in relation
to the problem of drugs in the context of adolescence and the need to implement
prevention within schools. Sought to mobilize teachers to reflect on the importance
of their role and attitudes in front of a multifaceted issue which requires a
systematic work, which promotes dialogue, reflection and integration of knowledge
and practice. The survey was conducted in two stages, the first being on a
descriptive and exploratory study and the second to the construction of a proposed
training for teachers and its evaluation by specialists. Step 1 appears as an
analysis of the attitudes of teachers of high school before the approach of using
SPA, in its context. Step 2 already features the proposition of an educational
intervention, in this case, training and evaluation of its contents. Results and
discussions of the work were presented in the form of articles, in line with steps 1
and 2 of the method. The study concluded that the school territory must be
understood as educational processes and generator space articulator of public
health policies, in this case involving the problem of use of SPA, directed to
adolescents and young people. To ensure that such actions are effectively
implemented, however, there is a need to overcome stigmas and prejudices on the
subject within the school environment, in addition to greater involvement and
investment of managing authorities in the process of preparation of the teaching
staff, mainly through education. In this sense, the implementation of a targeted
training to teachers of high school seems to be a plausible strategy to start this
reflective process, since this training proposal is based on communion between
theory and reality, the singular and the General, in a dialectical and critical
movement that seeks a significant training and also the possibility of constructing
an area of transformation and emancipation.
