• Abstract:

  This article analyzes the experience of the UniFAFIRE House of Justice and Citizenship, in partnership with the Private Conciliation and Mediation Chamber and the Dom Helder Câmara Legal Practices Center, in multidisciplinary care for elderly people. In collaboration with the Public Ministry of the State of Pernambuco (MPPE), the initiative involves psychologists, social workers and lawyers to guarantee a holistic and elderly-centered approach, promoting their protagonism and respect for their rights. The study examines how this action contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on SDGs 10 and 16, by reducing social inequalities and promoting access to effective and inclusive institutions. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary team in resolving conflicts and promoting active and dignified aging, addressing the emotional, social and legal needs of the elderly in an integrated and personalized way. The article also explores the challenges faced and lessons learned, suggesting recommendations for expanding and strengthening similar initiatives in the future, with the aim of ensuring more effective and inclusive protection of the rights of older people. The initial analysis highlights the relevance of public policies that support these initiatives, promoting an environment of respect and dignity for the elderly population.
