Definición

  • Family life education (FLE) refers to educational activities, information, or resources aimed at improving family relationships and functioning. Founder of the technique, Margaret Arcus and colleagues outlined seven core principles that define FLE in their seminal work, Handbook of Family Life Education (1962): (1) it is relevant to individuals and families throughout the life span; (2) it is based on the needs of individuals and families; (3) it is a multidisciplinary area of study and practice; (4) it is offered in many different settings; (5) it is an educational, rather than a therapeutic approach; (6) it presents and respects differing family values; and (7) it must be taught by qualified educators in order to be effective.
