  3. “The family has perhaps the greatest impact on individual development across all stages, influencing not only individual and family life, but also that of the community in which it is found,” (der Kinderen & Greeff, 2003, p. 86)

  4. Introduction

  5. … • Some thrive in spite of it all. • Some studies posit several factors for influencing this difference: personality variations, good parenting, social support, availability of adequate resources and family resilience • Family resilience is the ability of a familial unit to withstand and rebound from adversity (Walsh, 2003). • There is a dearth of contextually-based family practices which are successful in enhancing family resilience which could result in a supportive environment promoting optimal development

  6. The promotion and strengthening of family life is central to the overall stability and general wellbeing of South Africa and is linked to National Development Goals (DSD, 2013) • How are these challenges addressed? • Can we improve resilience within families?
