Description
The Brazilian Federation of Therapeutic Communities (FEBRACT) has established itself, over more than three decades, as one of the main references in the ethical and technical qualification, training, and accreditation of Therapeutic Communities (TCs) in Brazil. This session proposes an in-depth analysis of FEBRACT’s role in developing ethical and methodological standards, highlighting the technical monitoring of TCs as a central tool for promoting institutional ethics and continuous improvement in the quality of care and services provided.
Historical and quantitative data from the affiliation process will be presented, which currently encompasses hundreds of member institutions across all regions of Brazil, representing a milestone of national and international reach. The monitoring and reaffiliation methodology will be detailed, emphasizing the practical application of the principles contained in the FEBRACT Code of Ethics and its compliance instruments, aligned with the guidelines of RDC 29/2011 (ANVISA) and CONAD Resolution No. 01/2015.
The presentation will also address FEBRACT’s ongoing educational initiatives, including training programs for professionals and counselors and continuous technical development projects, which collectively sustain an ethical and evidence-based culture within the TC movement. Additionally, the session will present recent findings from research collaborations with the NASA (National Survey of Therapeutic Communities in Latin America), demonstrating the positive impact of technical and ethical monitoring on improving therapeutic outcomes and enhancing team qualification.
Ultimately, the session aims to offer an integrated perspective connecting theory, practice, and scientific evidence, contributing to the formation of professionals and managers committed to ethical, humanized, and evidence-based practices within the therapeutic community field.
