Family plays a part in who we become. It is where we learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view the world around us. We also learn to love and how to interact with others from these important relationships.

Family therapy can help members improve their understanding of each other, support each other, work through difficult situations, provide skills to cope with challenges, and help the family to achieve an increased sense of togetherness.
