Para além do "diga não ás drogas"; de crianças e adolescentes.

Abstract

This essay intends to problematize the work about drugs conducted with children and adolescents in school environment, pointing out the potential of an education for autonomy’s perspective in these contexts. This discussion is the result of concerns driven by the performance in the Health at School Program, while attending an internship in a NASF. At first, there was a brief historical review of how the relationship between the sectors of health and education in Brazil has been happening, and how the school environment becomes understood as an important locus for interventions on the field of health. Then, it was problematized how the drug issue has been addressed at schools and its possible implications, consequences and obstacles, still arguing, from the perspective of education for autonomy, other ways to do/think an education about drugs with the students. Thus, this essay is not intended to answer the question of "what to do" in relation to this problem, but to point some directions in relation to "how to do".
