Abstract: The approach to Well-being, in general, and in the family, in particular, makes us think about both Alma-Ata Declaration and Ottawa Charter (21st November 1986) on Health Promotion. This is a charter of intent that declares health as a resource and not as an end to be achieved, outlining the promotion of health as any action that aims to enable citizens to intervene in order to achieve better health. In other words, the innovation of the sense of action in health promotion lies in the right and duty of self-affirmation, pro-activity, responsibility and entrepreneurship, centered not only on the individual but on all the health agents. This means, on the one hand, that to achieve a complete state of wellbeing, individuals or groups must be able to identify and fulfill their aspirations and meet their needs in order to modify or adapt themselves to the environment, and, on the other hand, that Health Promotion is understood as a process that aims to increase the capacity of individuals and communities to control their health.
