“Family functions can have a tremendous positive impact on our well-being and can naturally help strengthen bonds between family members when events go well, particularly when family is meaningful for someone,” he shared. “Every family has their own culture, set of values, traditions and overall heritage. These factors can be very beneficial in helping establish a sense of identity and belonging.”

“Finally, within any family, there is sure to be a range of ages and different viewpoints that come from generational differences which often leads to misunderstandings. The same way family can bring out our worst behaviors, we must remember that they too can bring out our best behaviors,” Adnan says.

“There should also be a planned out exit strategy should things become too intense whether you just need to step away for the moment or need a pre-planned excuse to leave early,” the counselor added. “Always remember the family members who you identify as supportive or who do typically provide positive experiences as they can be your allies in navigating through difficult moments through their support.”
