Summary/Abstract: The volume “Building bridges: Promoting wellbeing for family. Handbook for parents ”, published by Lumen Publishing House from Iași in 2018, was developed within the project “Building bridges: Promoting social inclusion and well-being for the families of children with special needs (PSI-WELL)”, and is the result of a cross-sectional and transnational study on social inclusion, stress levels and the well-being of families with children with special needs, carried out in each of the 6 countries that were partners in the project (Romania, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Turkey and Lithuania). The volume coordinated by Assoc. Prof. PhD. Aurora Adina Colomeischi provides concrete results of the extensive research undertaken within the project and seems to be a viable starting point for the development of an educational policy for parents and families of children with special needs. The work is very well substantiated scientifically, and is especially useful for parents who face the special needs of their children, but also for the specialists whoundergo therapy with them. In our opinion, the book deals with desirable aspects in the development of social intervention programs often aimed at parents with children with special needs, programs dealing with improving personal resources and parenting skills needed to solve various special and difficult situations presented by children
