Family Assessment Interviewing the selected family was able to illuminate their specific views on health in general along with their particular views on all the specific factors and tenets of health. Just as every family is different, this certain level of differentness can manifest through distinct perspectives on health and various manifestation of health behavior. I interviewed the Gomez family; the parents of the family both came to America when they

The mother is Liz Rochaleau who was recently divorced and moved into a new situation with her daughter Jackie. Liz's partners name is Katie.

Family Cycle As per the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM), developmental assessment has got to do with the evaluation of not only the stage a specified family is in, but also familial tasks and attachments.
