The family is considered the closest environment for people, a natural habitat of the proper development and education of the child. The family performs a lot of functions, including: care, education, socialization, fulfilling the economic and emotional needs and many other. The proper education and care functions consist in organisation of the free time, teaching self-care, fulfilling psychical and social needs of the family members. Nowadays, many families are experiencing an emotional crisis, intergenerational relationships are disturbed, which in turn leads to educational difficulties. The family not always can perform its functions.

However, they are not always enough. The aim of the article is to present other family-supporting programs implemented by GOPS in Lubicz.
