Abstract
The family has been considered the oldest institution, important and fundamental humanity. Ensuring their protection is a duty and a commitment to society and the Health systems worldwide. The family is currently undergoing a process of profound change, due to continuing global changes that have occurred in recent decades, these changes threaten structural stability, functional and evolutionary, bringing consequent changes in patterns of health and wellness to throughout the family life cycle. The changes experienced by families and the attention given to them in public policy have been less studied areas. It is therefore important that the state and health systems, including family organization and family patterns as central and fundamental in state welfare policies, taking into account that the family has been, is and will remain the social institution par excellence. Similarly, it is crucial that health professionals address the family unit and integrative approach, considering everything as a whole greater than the sum of parts, in order to enhance the sustainability of the family from current events and to come.
