Intervention with at-risk families has changed greatly over recent decades. Thus, intervention based on welfare and deficit theory has given way to preventive intervention that seeks to strengthen and preserve families. Within the framework of this approach, there are psycho-educational programs for parents, the main characteristics of which are presented in this paper. An example of this kind of preventive intervention for parents is the family program coordinated by the Seville City Council Social and Community Services. The Programa de Formación y Apoyo Familiar (FAF, Family Education and Support Program) focuses on at-risk families that have received psychosocial intervention from Social and Community Services for family preservation reasons.
