Family counseling for education professionals

Abstract

This paper will discuss the contribution that studies on pedagogical counseling can make to reinterpreting the professionalism of the educator engaged in family education tasks. If, on the one hand, family systems are the place for learning primary knowledge, informal learning, and the realization of identity, on the other hand, they become spaces that are characterized by being liquid, within which feelings of stability and demands for security coexist. There is a well-established awareness that at certain stages, families need educational support and specific spaces to learn to deal with unprecedented events, a task that a particular form of counseling, such as educational counseling, can fulfill.
