| Summary: | Abstract Objective The objective of this article is present results of an investigation that aimed to produce meanings with adolescents about the role of group facilitators, in the framework of preparatory conversations for group participation on sexual and reproductive health, and in the group assessments. Method This is a relational action survey, whose material described and reviewed derives from the transcription of preparation and evaluation of interviews carried out with 11 adolescents, before and after their participation in a group on sexual and reproductive health in a health unit. The groups’ discussions were based on social constructionist proposals. Results Our results indicate that it is essential for facilitators to build together with the adolescents both the work agenda and the conversational context of the group, anticipating possible fears, challenges and building imaginary preferable ways of handling tense situations. Conclusion This study contributes to the field of group practices, specifically to constructing and development of groups in a collaborative logic. |
