The family is in an enduring social institution, and today, many families are being impacted by the needs of the aging members.

The family of today deals with various challenges including social, cultural, ethnic, environmental, economic and socioeconomic, psycho social, community, and special issue concerns. Because families are unique and the development of the family depends on responses to common and uncommon experience shaping and molding the family environment, it is critical to understand all of the theoretical frameworks, multiple systems, and total processes of assessment and intervention options.
