Abstract

In this study, we discuss about the family crisis, presenting information that demonstrate the diversity of family configurations that exists in current Brazilian context, such as separations, divorce, consensual unions, couple with no children, remarriage, and others. In this way, we reflect about the crisis of the traditional model of family and not the family institution per se, asking: How can we feel good in family facing this plurality? We suggest some aspects that could be observed to attend these new families demands and, consequently, to promote their members’ health.

Key words – New family configurations. Diversity. Family. Crisis.
