Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study herein is to explore the perceptions of 23 children aged 9 to 11 years of age, regarding the factors present in the context of an after-school program, which favor and harm their mental health. The photo-voice resource was used to produce the data. The analyzes of the photographs produced were made collectively. Playing, sports, educational activities and contact with nature were identified as favoring mental health; bullying and other violence practices were perceived as harmful. It was found that the children demonstrated clarity about what affects them, therefore, listening to them seems to be a path for the processes of elaborating policies and actions that in fact seek to protect them.
