FAMILY AND PARENTING SUPPORT PROGRAMS

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary social context poses significant challenges to the family and parenting that require additional support. The paper starts from the position that the specifics of the modern family and parenting cannot be determined exclusively on the basis of relationships within the family, and therefore it is necessary to apply an ecosystem approach, both in understanding family functioning and in designing and implementing family and parenting support programs. The aim of the paper is to present a comprehensive overview of the principles of successful family and parenting support programs, as well as to present certain programs in the world and in our region that have been evaluated as successful. The paper presents a total of six programs that have a preventive or interventional character, and for each program, the following are presented: focus, goal, activity, main actors and results. The main implication of the paper refers to the provision of effective family and parenting support that is comprehensive and extends through numerous aspects of the functioning of the entire social system and families.
