In addition to the main concepts related to the topic, a brief history of the Brazilian scenario and its impact on the experience of this transition among Brazilian workers is presented. Using the Conservation of Resources Theory (CRT), and based on the gaps in Retirement Preparation Programs (RPP) with aligned theory and method, the proposal for a RPP based on Resources, adapted to the Brazilian context, is defended. Finally, the importance of a model that fi lls the gaps in the literature, the applicability of the RPT to the Brazilian context, and the need for studies to accumulate evidence of the validity of the proposal are discussed.Keywords:Retirement, resource, psycosocial intervention
