b. Family resiliency

A
Family durability is the intrafamilial system of support and structure that sometimes extends beyond the walls of the household. Through divorce, remarriages, or cohabitation new members are added to a family. In addition, an extended family also includes contact with former spouses or partners. Family diversity is the uniqueness of each family. Family resiliency is the ability of the family to cope with expected and unexpected stressors. A nuclear family consists of husband and wife (and perhaps one or more children).
