The dissertation in question aims to investigate mental health care practices – but not only –, with children and adolescents cared for in an institution aimed at the public diagnosed with intellectual and multiple disabilities (APAE), in the municipality of Vila Velha - ES, based on the problematization of care practices that affirm conditions for a livable life (BUTLER, 2019). The research field is also a work field, starting from a cartographic perspective; I place myself as part of this institution, in which I work as a psychologist providing care to these children, adolescents and adults who surround them. The mangrove resonates as an image to think about the encounter between work, research and other powerful and conflicting encounters that permeate care practices. Articulating the notions of vulnerability and precariousness worked by Judith Butler (2019; 2020; 2021) deepens the understanding of care, using authors such as Bellacasa (2016) for this theoretical conceptualization. Care is strengthened here as an ethical direction, for the production of life and a commitment to a more egalitarian community, rooted in a radical commitment to life in all its forms. The scenes were analyzed based on three axes: access to rights, child participation and political mourning. Through them, paths of analysis were constructed that point to the care relationship as a powerful way to establish relationships that come close to the notion of interdependence, as well as stating that the appreciation of life involves the construction of an ethical care relationship that is attentive to social constructions that permeate people with disabilities.
