Abstract	Objective: Aging leads to significant losses in the elderly, whether physical, psychological or social. In this context, social support programs and welcoming environments are highlighted by being prosecutor elements of security and well-being, stimulating and enhancing the autonomy of the elderly. Given this, we aimed to identify the social benefits of a support group for older participants under their own perspective. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted consisting of 20 women with a mean age of 69.1 ± 6.29 years, participants of Group Renascer (“Reborn”), inland of Paraiba state. Results: It was verified a good ability to perform functional activities that require flexibility, in contrast with a deficit for activities requiring strength. Regarding contributions to the self-image, 65% reported having greater satisfaction in living upon participation of the group, and 35% felt more socially valued. In the social relationships, 57% reported “ease of living”; 24% greater emotional expressiveness; while 19% said nothing had changed. Conclusion: the Group “Reborn” provided improvements in the personal dimension concerning individual skills, making the elderly more confident, with more self-esteem, better functional capacity and quality of life. In the social dimension, there was an improvement in the relationships among the elderlies themselves and in their social relationships, in addition to an encouragement for collective constructions.
