We are so sorry to hear that you are worried about how to deal with Family Problems, but know that you are not alone, we hear you. 

Your question is very broad, and I don’t know what problem you are having to deal with. I hope these suggestions help you.  

Some things to think about are firstly every family is different. 

Family changes can be stressful but there are ways to cope. 

When you’re feeling low or overwhelmed, it can be hard to know how to cope. But distracting yourself or doing some activities or games can help you feel better. 

Even doing just one positive thing every day can help your mood. 

It can help to talk about how you’re feeling.
