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.

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.

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.

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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
