Familial psychosocial support refers to the emotional, social, informational, and practical assistance provided by family members to help an individual cope with challenges and maintain psychological and social well-being [1]. It may include emotional reassurance, empathy, encouragement, companionship, communication, sharing of information, assistance with daily activities, and help in accessing social or health-related resources [2][3]. Familial psychosocial support is based on interpersonal relationships within the family and may be provided by parents, partners, siblings, children, or other relatives [2][4]. The support may be perceived by the recipient or expressed through specific supportive behaviors and interactions [1][3]. Its nature and availability can vary according to family relationships, cultural and social contexts, individual needs, and the circumstances in which support is provided. Familial psychosocial support therefore encompasses both relational and practical forms of family assistance that contribute to coping and psychosocial adjustment.
