Family-Focused Positive Psychoeducation Program on the Well-Being of Adolescents

Children who are happy at school are expected to be successful and satisfied with their lives in adulthood. Many factors contribute to the development of subjective well-being, including having a family where the family members are connected; able to communicate; express themselves freely; and feel valued, loved, and supported. Being raised in such a family environment would positively shape their personalities, values, and perceptions of themselves and others. As a matter of fact, children who grow up in a healthy family can transfer the positive relationships and emotions that they experienced in their family of origin to the school setting. In this way, they can both have a successful and satisfying student life and develop healthy social relationships. In this chapter, we offer a family-focused positive psychology-based psychoeducation model to increase children’s subjective well-being by strengthening the family system for mental health providers working with families and children in a school setting. End of the program, it is hoped to increase school children’s well-being with the collaboration of their families.
