FAMILY APPROACH IN CHRONIC PHYSICAL DISEASE
This program is intended for individuals with a diagnosis of chronic physical illness and respective families, to increase the adaptation to the disease and promote family quality of life and physical and psychological well-being. The program features a psychoeducational approach, focused on family models as well as an affective and behavioral dimension, providing strategies to better cope with the disease and overcome the difficulties of everyday life at the individual, family and the health care system.
