1.1 Family
A family is a primary social unit composed of individuals connected by blood, marriage,
or adoption who provide emotional, social, and economic support to one another. While
traditionally defined in Western contexts as a nuclear unit (mother, father, and children),
African perspectives include extended family members such as grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and cousins. Family structures have diversified to include single-parent families,
child-headed households, and families formed by same-sex partners. Social workers
must acknowledge this diversity when offering support to families (Schenck et al., 2016;
Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013).
