Abstract
Family environments can greatly affect the prospects of the children and their succeeding
generations. South Africa's socio-political history and contextual circumstances continue to
affect the structure and functioning of families. However, in spite of - or perhaps because of -
these factors, many families thrive in such adversity. Research has explored and identified
many processes such as social support, self-efficacy, availability of resources, and family
resilience, which can moderate the effects of adversity. Family resilience processes have been
shown to significantly reduce deleterious consequences of adversity in families.
