There is no set definition of a family. Each family is made up of different people, for different reasons that are connected together in some way to empower one another.
There is often the saying that someone is ‘like family’. This shows the value placed on role models or friends who have impacted or inspired your life.
What does your family do to come together?
Some examples may be making a meal for them, having a BBQ, calling in to see they are ok, helping with odd jobs, joining in the celebration of special events through the year or giving them a call (on the phone).
Family and friends can be a big support system, but at times can also be a challenge to navigate should dynamics change.
Think about a family member or friend who is just like family and give them a call to say ‘Hello’. They will be just as glad to hear from you as you are to talk with them.
