In the most recent literature on the definition of “parenting” and the most effective practic-es in carrying out a support and promotion intervention, it is evident that today it is understood as a dynamic set of skills of care and recognition and development of the affective relationship. This concept makes it possible to start and support a process of developing parenting skills even in situations of difficulty and marginalization of the family unit. In this perspective, we will propose two situations, encountered in a SISMIF service, activated by the territorial So-cial Services, to protect minors. The state of discomfort, which leads to the reporting of cases, does not involve the immediate removal of children from the family unit, but requires that their stay is evaluated and, if necessary, the conditions for it are guaranteed. In this context, the in-terventions based on participant observation and the construction of a significant working alli-ance with parents, often far from understanding what comes to them. It is thus possible to identify the critical and risk elements but also the potential and resources of the family unit considered, through an intervention that reduces socio-cultural isolation and makes it possible to promote spaces for reflection, return and significance of the hardship experienced, the relat-ed conflicts and the prospects of development towards autonomy. The intervention ends when, in accordance with the family history and the requests of the social community of reference, it is considered to have achieved sufficient stability of the family system and the awareness, on the part of the latter, of being able to ask for and receive help.
