 If family health deteriorates, so does the health of society


Indicating that healthy families are the basis of a healthy society, Dr. Nurten Elkin said, “The family is a social institution that undertakes the task of establishing the bond between society and individuals and ensures the continuity of society. Although the functions, form or characteristics of the family have changed over time, family has existed in all societies throughout history. Family, being the first and natural nucleus of the society, provides the natural conditions of the physical, intellectual and moral development of the individual and constitutes the basic building blocks of society. Family is the most suitable environment for upbringing, educating and making child a healthy member of society."
