This study results from an outreach intervention carried out in a discipline of the undergraduate Psychology course. It was designed to help the changes and the social-emotional development of adolescents through focus groups. The themes were chosen by the ones that took part on the intervention and were related to their professional future and family, cyberbullying, feminism, religion and sexuality. The first stage was conducted among 104 adolescents from a school in Pará, Brazil. Twenty-six of those students volunteered to join focal groups in accordance with the subjects of their own interest. During this stage, the participants had the opportunity to express their opinions as well as to take a stand on themselves, critically and reflectively, about several subjects. It is relevant to highlight the importance of school psychologist to suggest and intermediate activities that stimulate participants to share and discuss their experiences as well as to act as the one who understands the person from a historical and social context.
