Abstract

This article discusses the importance of the promotion of family health, the strengthening of links between young people, their families and the community, and the development of integrative services and policies. In promoting an alliance between families, young people and health care the authors identify four key challenges: first, identifying a philosophy of family and adolescent health care; second, developing an integrated and comprehensive approach; third, engaging creativity and hope in care; and fourth, defining the nature of family and adolescent health research.
