Promoting functional family relationships during adolescence is an important need, underscoring the relevance of programs designed to foster positive parenting for this population. This study aimed to describe parenting and coparenting among parents of adolescents before and after participation in an intervention program. The sample consisted of 22 participants (20 mothers and 2 fathers) who completed the Brazilian version of the Coparenting Relationship Scale (CRS), the Inventário de Estilos Parentais (IEP; Parenting Styles Inventory) at both pretest and posttest, as well as a sociodemographic questionnaire at baseline. Following the eight-session online group intervention and subsequent quantitative analysis, most participants obtained parenting style scores classified as excellent or good. In addition, mean scores in the positive dimensions of coparenting increased after the intervention. These findings highlight the importance of providing parents and caregivers with information on the specific characteristics of adolescence to strengthen family bonds and promote healthy parent-child relationships.

Keywords : adolescence; parent-child relations; psychological intervention; parenting; family relations.
