Understanding adolescence as a process, marked by transformations that start in childhood, several demands may appear in this period of development and require reflections for different decision-making that point out ways to solve its doubts and conflicts. The social and personal pressure experienced by the young teenager is very strong and it is very common for conflicting and uncertain experiences to be experienced as suffering. Attentive to the sufferings of adolescents, especially in the school context, we will seek to offer a therapeutic space for adolescents at school, aiming to accompany and favor the subjective process, understanding it as a process of production of subjectivity. Thus, the objective of this work is to create conditions to encourage the production of singular subjectivity processes in the spaces of the Technical College of the Rural University (TCRU) through a therapeutic group, using the cartographic method as a research and intervention strategy with adolescents in the school space. Students between 14 and 17 years old attending high school at TCRU will participate. Closed therapeutic groups will be held, with 8 to 15 participants each, in a cycle of six weekly meetings: an initial evaluation, four therapeutic meetings and a final evaluation. We will use an adaptation of the game Coping with Stress for Teens, composed of 75 cards, separated into 5 categories and a closing card. Only 9 cards will be used, 1 in the family category, 7 in the internal events category and 1 closing card. The cards were selected based on themes that emerged during the realization of a Nomadic Therapeutic Group in a previous study. All meetings will be audio-recorded and transcribed later. At each meeting, the group's narratives will be recorded to follow the processes of subjectivity and after the meeting, the logbook will be made in order to access the intensity of the meeting. All records will be used for data analysis. With this study we hope to identify processes of production of subjectivity in adolescence and the potential of the group as an intervention strategy.
