Abstract

Abstract: This research addresses the intervention of the Strong Families Family Guidance Program as a preventative strategy against risky behaviors in adolescents and as a resource for strengthening family bonds and positive parenting styles. The overall objective was to implement the program with parents to analyze its impact on preventing risky behaviors, improving family communication, and supporting the holistic development of adolescents. The study was conducted at a private educational institution in the Quito canton, with the participation of parents of tenth-grade students, selected through purposive sampling. A qualitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was adopted. The techniques used were bibliographic research and training workshops, and reflective activities with guiding questions were employed as instruments. The results demonstrate the teaching of strategies for communication, emotional management, setting boundaries, and awareness of the parental role. It is concluded that the program will generate positive changes in family dynamics and constitutes an effective tool for preventative family guidance.
