Objectives
Strengthen the educational role of the families of minors and youth people who pass through the juvenile justice circuit to avoid or limit drug use and recidivism of children in transgression of norms.
Operational context
Catalonia
Main activities
Participation of the father and the mother. Whenever possible, it is recommended that both participate in the program and no set shifts between them (ie, the parents should attend all sessions).
Duties at home. Each session of the program includes one or more tasks that participants have to offsite sessions where they are taught. These duties between sessions are an element of generalization and practice (in real situations) skills learned in the sessions. The realization of these tasks are reviewed and discussed at the beginning of each session.
Creation of a suitable work environment. It is important to foster a climate formal, yet relaxed, conducive to frank expression of behavioural problems of children and personal difficulties in their education, and active participation in exercises and discussions representing papers. In this regard, it should suggest tuteo between group members and provide them with labels identifying the name of all participants, including the monitors. This facilitates communication and contributes to create a network of mutual support among participants.
Other activities: Explanation, group discussions, group support, behavioral rehearsal exercises (role- playing), modeling, practical skills and allocation of tasks at home.
