In this essay, we carry out a self-reflection on the intervention of Social Work in ANIP in families with children exposed to environmental risk factors. We conducted a systematic review of the literature, highlighting (i) the importance
of the family-centered approach and its interconnections with the transactional/ecological systems perspectives and (ii) the
contribution of the concepts of Enabling/Empowering Families to the paradigm shift and, consequently, the replacement of
clinical/welfare models with an intervention in which the family emerges as an active/fundamental element in the processes
of change. From the results, we can highlight (i) the challenges for professionals in implementing collaborative practices
with families and (ii) the demands of working in an early intervention team, both in terms of knowledge of the theoretical
frameworks underlying mediation with families and in terms of training to make decisions based on evidence and the specificities of children/families when faced with concrete circumstances, in order to better respond to their unique needs.
