A functional family typically manages a crisis in the following ways:

  1. Making use of their support system - They reach out to friends, relatives, or community resources for help and support.

  2. Trying to make the best of any situation - They maintain a positive attitude and look for opportunities for growth or learning, even in difficult circumstances.

  3. Possibly enlisting the aid of a professional support system - They may seek help from counselors, therapists, or other professionals to navigate the crisis effectively.

  4. Cooperating no matter what is happening - They work together as a unit, communicating and supporting each other throughout the crisis.

The option "ignores each other until the problem is forgotten" is not characteristic of a functional family, as it indicates avoidance rather than constructive engagement with the issues at hand.
