Abstract: This work analyzes the Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds Service (SCFV) based on the issue of its potential to promote quality of life and well-being, from the perspective of positive psychology, for the life cycle of elderly people. This question is justifiable not only because of the role of psychology in this service, but also because of the possibility of confirming its guidelines from another epistemological perspective, reinforcing them. With the aim of answering whether the SCFV can be qualified as a “positive institution”, the theoretical path of this research encompasses a multi-methodological approach: a bibliographical review, with the support of the comparative method, bringing together basic positive psychology research with studies and materials related (directly or indirectly) to the SCFV aimed at the life cycle of elderly people; and a report on an internship experience at a SCFV that included the production of field diaries about participant observation with intervention. As a result, both theoretical-methodological paths indicated that the SCFV manages to promote quality of life and well-being for its elderly users, which, consequently, qualifies this public policy as a positive institution.
