Family Attention Facility

The Family Attention Facility is a resource for any family in our community, regardless of its origin, structure or type.

It offers advice, orientation and therapy to families that are referred to it or that request attention themselves.

It gives individual or group support to those people in need of personal growth, development, education and socialisation (relationship with peers and other non-family adults).

Families using the service are entitled to the first three visits at no cost. Subsequent visits will be partially subsidised.

GENTIS through the Family Attention Facility wishes…

• To offer a consultation and advice facility to families or individuals that bring us their questions or problems.
• To offer orientation to couples and families that find themselves going through separation or divorce and voluntarily request help from a third party, as well as in other contexts, at education centres, institutions...
• To offer specialised therapeutic attention aimed at improving the health and quality of life for families.
• To provide to groups of fathers, mothers, children and young people, and to families in general, the support and orientation of professionals in the form of information, advice and training.

Advice and personalised sessions for families

Different areas that are offered

Advice and orientation: attention is given to families or individuals that have sought advice on the following issues:

• socialisation (relationship with peers and other non-family adults)
• rules and boundaries
• family relationships (spouses, children and siblings)
• exercise of the parental role
• risk factors

Family therapy: attention is paid to families or individuals who find themselves facing one or several situations that cause them unease, suffering, loss of ability or the appearance of symptoms or upsets that adversely affect personal and family development. The therapeutic work is intended to generate a change that allows the relief of suffering and re-establishes the personal and family balance.

The most frequent requests are related to the following situations:

• conflicts in family or marital relations
• difficulties in relationships with children (parental role)
• separations or divorces
• loss of a family member or someone close (bereavement situations)
• terminal and chronic illnesses, or those related to ageing (cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, senile dementia, Alzheimer, Parkinson...)
• problems stemming from the geographic mobility of the family
• approaching early retirement and retirement

Intervention by means of these different areas of advice or orientation and family therapy has allowed work carried out with families to be optimised. Each area has been run by qualified professionals in the fields of psychology and social work.

This function of the Family Attention Space has always been carried out in conjunction with the interdisciplinary network that provides support to families.
