Rilanciare l'identità della famiglia per renderla protagonista nella comunità: i percorsi di promozione e arricchimento dei legami familiari

Courses The family is an important link between the individual and the society. In it we experience the first social interactions and we learn the meaning of taking care of the relationships. The family is the first environment in which we experience of solidarity: this is why the family can be the main context in which we try out the trust in our bonds and in the society. Working with families in a community perspective means to promote within the family its often unconscious resources, around the family the informal resources of the neighbourhood, the networks, the services, with the families a new protagonism in the social environment. And promoting the family means also to stimulate the community which is around, with and within the family. The Promoting and Enriching Family Bonds Courses are in this psychosocial and community perspective, which aim to promote a reflection on family and couple identity and to increase the marital and parental competence, to enrich the social dimension of the family and to create networks both between couples and parents and between them and the community services. We are going to present the method of work, the methodological choices adopted and the community aspects of the intervention. Keywords: community, family, enrichment, prevention, groups
