Abstract
Families constitute a fundamental cornerstone for individual and community well-being across the entire life course.
A large amount of research has consistently demonstrated
that family-centered approaches for family services result
in more positive outcomes for both individuals and family relationships. This underscores the pivotal role families
play in enhancing educational success, fostering social
competences, facilitating work-life balance and mitigating
the impact of various risk factors. Despite the acknowledged significance of supporting families through policies
and practices, exists a lack of instruments and tools for designing policy/services with a “family thinking” approach.
This deficiency leaves practitioners inadequately equipped
to design programs addressing diverse range of family dynamics. To addresses this gap, this study explores how the
Family Impact Lens (Bogenschneider, Little, Ooms, Benning,
Cadigan & Corbett, 2012) and its Italian adaptation, the
FamILens (Carrà, 2023), can align policies and services with
the specific needs of families. The objective of the study
was to define and validate four Family Impact Checklist
specifically for use in four key areas of intervention: family
mediation, elderly home care, human resources management, and social services in child protection. Each study
incorporated co-design sessions and a two-round Delphi
involving over 15 experts in each domain. The four adapted
Checklists encompass a variable number of items across six
“think family” principles: family responsibility, family stability, family relationship, family diversity, family engagement,
and family networking. After this phase, four large-scale
family impact analysis will use surveys through the validated checklists targeting statistically significative samples of
professionals. These developed tools can aid professionals in formulating impactful, family-friendly programs that
ultimately lead to enhanced individual and community
well-being.
