Types of Family StructuresMichelle Blessing Mental Health ProfessionalNov 30, 20151 min read There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of family structure.

Families need to do what is best for each other and themselves, and that can be achieved in almost any unit. Blessing, M. Types of Family Structures.
