With changes in the social environment, many families in Korea have experienced difficulties such as the weakening of intra-family protection and family breakdown, due to dissolution and accumulation such as entry of new poor population, a vacuum of careㆍsupport, divorceㆍseparation, etc. and emergent accidents such as suicideㆍdisaster, etc. However, customized service responding to special needs of families is insufficient. In a situation where social safety nets are not established, the occurrence of crises resulting from family changes and emergent factors produces a vulnerable social group, speeds up family dissolution and negatively affects our society, which emerges as a very urgent social problem. Therefore, it is required to create policies for sustainable maintenance and development of our families.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cause for family crises against family crises and familyㆍsociological phenomena in depth, and diagnose problems and by the way, seek a customized counter strategy by crisis type.

As a strategy against chronic crises, an economic support network targeting families in a financial crises should be expanded. As a counter-plan against the crises of family support, life-periodic and systematic support, expansion of a work-family balance system, expansion of a multi-layered and social safety net to alleviate the burden of caring for adult children, etc. should be sought. As a counter plan against family
relationship crises, measures to cope with post-control violence or abuse and addiction, etc. should be taken at an systematic level, and in terms of prevention, a professional service to increase family cohesion and elasticity should be provided to improve customized educationㆍcounselㆍtreatment and crisis response ability.

As a strategy against emergent crises, a community-based prevention system should be expanded, and a network against emergent crises should be reinforced. Specifically, in response to disaster crises, by establishing a complete manual based on community environments, local conditions, and architecture resources, its effectiveness should be raised. Furthermore, in response to continuos management and treatment for the families injured by disaster, national professional aid organizations will have to be expanded. As a psychological support system plan, self meetings for community-centered customized bereaved
families should be prepared and assistance should be provided to them.
