This form of family therapy is normally provided within the family unit itself. However, in less resourceful families and a family that faces a prolonged major challenge then long-term support by a professional therapist may be necessary.

Examples of situations that might necessitate supportive family therapy include a family in which one or members may be mentally ill, or physically disabled. In such situations the main task of the therapist is to assist the family in coping with demands generated at a particular moment by disability or illness of its members.
