FAMILY AND FAMILY HEALTH ROLES

A family is a group of individuals who are connected by blood, marriage, or adoption, and who typically live together and share emotional bonds, responsibilities, and experiences. It's a fundamental social unit that provides support, love, and nurturing to its members.

Types of family

Families come in various forms, including:

  1. Nuclear Family: Consisting of parents and their biological or adopted children.
  2. Extended Family: Includes relatives beyond the nuclear family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, who often live together or in close proximity.
  3. Single-Parent Family: Comprising one parent and their children, either due to divorce, separation, or choice.
  4. Blended Family: Formed when two individuals with children from previous relationships marry or cohabit, creating a new family unit.
  5. Same-Sex Family: Families headed by same-sex couples, who may have biological children, adopt, or use assisted reproductive technologies.
  6. Foster Family: Families who provide temporary care and support to children who cannot live with their biological parents due to various reasons.

Responsibility of members of the family
