Family work reduces stress and resolves conflict. There is a focus on the individuality of each member, and how they affect the whole family system. If one member of the family is having problems, the entire family is at risk. Some situations that can benifit from family work are; children leaving home or returning home, extended family moving in or moving out, his children her children and the addition of “your” children, and adding grandparents who can no longer live alone. Each one of these situations can affect family members differently.

We can work together as a team to create positive change.
