Family Coping Coherence Index (FCCI)

When we face problems/difficulties in our family we cope by:
1.    Accepting stressful events as a fact of life
2.    Accepting that difficulties occur unexpectedly
3.    Defining the family problem in a positive way so that we do not become too discouraged
4.    ha‎ving faith in God
