Considering the reality of institutional embracement of children and adolescents in our country, this study aims to verify the perspectives of professionals working in these institutions on these families and family reintegration. Semi-structured interviews were carried on with three professionals. In data analysis, Systemic Theory and Positive Psychology fundamentals were adopted as theoretical pillars, using as analytical categories multidisciplinary team performance, protection and risk factors for family reintegration, vulnerabilities of these families and possible ways to strengthen their resilience. Factors such as social vulnerability, transgenerational transmission of violence and the permanence of the reasons for embracement were highlighted by the participants of this study. It was noted the need of expertise of multidisciplinary teams, which should be qualified to deal with such complex situations.
