SUMMARY:

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about psychological impacts of various magnitudes and orders within different population groups. In response, several initiatives were created to alleviate the suffering of the Brazilian population by offering psychological services. Among these initiatives, a group of psychologists from various regions of Brazil organized themselves and formed the "Apoio Manaus" and "Abrigo Humano" groups to provide voluntary assistance to the population of Manaus. This work took place from January to March 2021, during the so-called oxygen crisis, one of the saddest episodes in the history of the pandemic in the country. As a researcher and participant (volunteer) in these groups, I aim, in this research approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP), to understand the challenges, reverberations, and meanings of this voluntary action through dialogue with seven other psychologists who were part of the groups. The invited psychologists participating in the research live in various municipalities in Brazil and served in different roles within the group, such as coordination, supervision, and volunteer work. Two virtual conversation circles were conducted, the first with five and the second with four participants, during which we could share our experiences in that emergency situation. This study is characterized as a relational research grounded in social constructionism and has developed a Thematic Analysis of the narratives produced during the meetings, resulting in the following themes: Vulnerability, Collective Construction, Resignification of Practices, and Affectations. The discussion was generated through the articulation of narratives and the theoretical framework of Collaborative-Dialogical Practices. Among the considerations, we understand that the conversation circles about those experiences allowed for the production of new meanings, both in the professional and personal spheres, through reflective dialogues. It is also worth highlighting the relevance of that moment and the experience being documented here as an ethical and political commitment, arising from the perspective of those who were present with others in their pain and sought to collectively construct ways of caring.
