Two useful types of intervention for families with such characteristics!
✓ The importance of a strong investment in the families selection and
screening;
✓ The need for an expanded multidisciplinary team as essential to the
effectiveness of family interventions;
✓ Selective prevention evaluated scientifically should continue to be
a bet for the future, as a way to raise standards of the interventions
quality, in knowledge production and good practice validation.
