MARTINEZ GONZALEZ, Raquel-Amaya  and  BECEDONIZ VAZQUEZ, Carlos Manuel. Educational Guidance for Families. A Support for Developing a Positive Parenting. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2009, vol.18, n.2, pp.97-112. ISSN 2173-4712.

This paper focuses on the need to promote Educational Guidance for Family Life as a means to support families in developing a Positive Parenting role, such as suggested by the Council of Europe (2006). This Recommendation is discussed in some detail and some measures that had been put into practice in Spain to support families under special circumstances are revised; in order to do so, Programme-Agreements which had been developed in the last years sponsored by both the central government and the one of the Spanish Autonomous Cities and Communities are described. Moreover, other preventive and community measures focused on socio-educative support for all families through Positive Parenting Programmes are mentioned. This paper ends with some suggestions about actions which require a multidisciplinary, collaborative net approach among the diverse social entities and institutions working in favour of families.

Keywords : positive parenting; measures to support families; educative guidance for family life.
