Moreover, many studies have revealed a link between social support and positive parenting, which in turn has an impact on children\u2019s well-being. In Portugal, there is a significant lack of studies in this area. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between parents\u2019 perceived social support and children\u2019s psychological adjustment. The sample consisted of 409 parents (83.13% mothers) living in the region of Algarve (South of Portugal). The Duke-UNC Functional Social Support and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires were used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results showed that, on average, families had a social support network of nine people, with a balanced presence of family ( M\u2009=\u20094.25, SD\u2009=\u20093.54) and friends ( M\u2009=\u20094.36, SD\u2009=\u20093.17). Parents reported medium-high levels of confidant and affective support, but instrumental support was lower. However, single-parent families, immigrant families, and divorced parents were found to be more socially isolated and received less support than they needed. Affective social support showed predictive value for child psychological adjustment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Applications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that developing universal and selective parental education and support programs that focus on strengthening informal social support networks is needed, especially for vulnerable families.
