Abstract
This study aimed to build health promotion and prevention actions with elderly people and health professionals and evaluate the meaning of health empowerment for older people. An action research was conducted with a family health team, the Family Health Support Center, and 26 older individuals from a dialogic perspective. Seventeen older individuals were interviewed, and the content analysis technique was used. The elderly people expressed the meaning of the social group based on socialization, meaningful bonds, sharing, learning, and redefinition of life projects. The social group was a space for listening, creating, sharing experiences, and valuing life stories. This interaction redefined the aging process and life projects and increased satisfaction with health and life.
