Family reunification is one of the most frequent legal migration routes, also among minors. The responsibility of offering integration policies for these children and adolescents falls on local authorities. This research proposes the transfer of successful programs in this task. For this, it addresses the diagnosis of this migratory process in a territory, through two ways: a quantitative analysis of public data and the categorization of needs detected in social services, through interviews and file analysis. The results indicate the existence of tensions derived from factors related, on the one hand, to the migratory process and to the reconfiguration of the family structure; and, on the other, to the organization of public services that serve families. We conclude that, in order to promote an integration itinerary in the host society, preventive strategies are necessary, articulated as accompaniment programs.

Keywords : Migration; Family reunification; Social accompaniment; Minors; Migration policy; Social Integration.
