Abstract

Scientific dissemination is one of Psychology’s commitments, as this science and profession cannot function without computerization, dissemination, and the construction of knowledge. Due to its arrival in small towns and rural areas, the professional in this work promoted the profile of this category through a segment entitled “Psi Moment,” featuring four episodes averaging 30 minutes in length and broadcasted in audiovisual media, in addition to an in-person meeting with deaf participants. In these activities, both deaf and hearing audiences were introduced to some areas of psychology and their respective applications. Psychoeducation within Cognitive Behavioral Therapies was used as a communication technique; guidance was taken from a collaborator of the CRP-02 Interiorization Committee; and Community Psychology studies were used to present and reflect on the reality of psychology in rural and Belemita communities.
