Abstract
The Specialized Family and Childhood Care Service (SEAFI, that stands for Servicio Especializado de Atención a la Familia y a la Infancia), is a service available in most of the municipalities in the Valencian Community, which aims to give comprehensive psycho educational and psychosocial support to families with under aged children in it. This task of providing personal attention is coordinated by the municipal department of General Social Services. The different SEAFIs have specific interdisciplinary teams, with training in the pedagogic, psychological and social fields and perform familiar intervention through a set of techniques of psychosocial orientation, family mediation and family therapy.
Families that get such kind of attention and specialized care tend to face, straight away, situations of vulnerability and conflict. We hereby present a descriptive analysis of the family circumstances which can generate bigger difficulties for these families to be able to face critical situations (family structure, age of the children, who is identified as the patient…). Results usually point out that those families who ask for this kind of specialized service are those with preteens or teens in it.
Keywords: comprehensive psycho educational support, identified patient, psychosocial orientation, family mediation, family therapy.
