Abstract
Objective: To develop health promotion actions with adolescents who are in an institutional reception situation in a municipality in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. Experience report: This is an experience report about an Assistance Practice that took place during the months of September, October and November of 2018 in a host institution for girls and boys in a municipality located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. The meetings were held weekly and according to availability and acceptance by the team and participants, who were five teenage girls and one boy. The age range varied between 12 and 18 years and the period in which they were institutionalized, from two to eight years. The activities developed involved several themes and actions, such as: Self-esteem, STDs, walks, physical activity, among others. Final considerations: Based on this experience, it was possible to perceive the importance of the nurse in the care institutions, providing a continuous care, since the proximity experienced by the adolescents in this context is permeated by the reciprocity of the established links.
