Spanish term or phrase: organizarse a favor del bienestar
Iniciativas tomados por los familiares para organizarse a favor del bienestar de sus discapacitados son vistos con sospecha y como una critica indirecta al estado y su capacidad y obligación de velar por el bienestar de los ciudadanos.

English translation:to organize [as in forming a civil association] for the well-being
Explanation:
I don't think this has anything to do with people's personal lives but rather with creating an organization or association to promote care for the disabled

neutral  liz askew: What would the "familiares" be doing forming a civil association?? I think it HAS to do with personal lives and has less structured overtones than you imply..//We shall agree to disagree then.

to organize in favor of/to favor the well-being


Explanation:
It's a direct translation, just another option, I think that the fact that the words "en favor de" appear are important.
Also used instead of the direct translation "in favor of/to favor" could be "on behalf of", yet I still think that the literal translation would adapt to any interpretation.
Good luck!
