The Family Assessment Measure

The Family Assessment Measure (FAM) is a tool used by mental health professionals to evaluate how family members interact, communicate, and function together. It helps identify strengths and challenges within a family system, providing insight into areas needing support or improvement. The FAM assesses emotional well-being, family cohesion, and communication patterns, facilitating better understanding and guiding effective interventions. It’s a collaborative process that respects each family member’s perspective, aiming to enhance overall family harmony and individual functioning.
