Parental coaching

Preventive action in the family environment is a preventive tool. In tangible terms, an education professional visits families who have submitted a request in order to provide assistance according to their needs and availabilities. This person provides expertise in the form of listening and accompaniment with a view to identifying, in collaboration with the family members, the most suitable solutions to improve the situation at home.

Free subscription and confidentiality

This assistance at home provides a helping hand to overcome the difficulties experienced by numerous parents in their daily lives, in particular during the more delicate moments in a child’s education. The “Preventive action in the family environment” project is based on a relationship of trust and the free subscription of the families. It is part of the action plan to promote the rights of the child adopted by the administrative council and within the framework of the parenting support policy developed by the City of Geneva.
