The term you are referring to is likely "family adaptation." Family adaptation in the context of family systems theory refers to the extent to which a family system can modify its internal functions (such as roles and perceptions) and adjust to changes in external realities (such as social and economic contexts) to achieve a fit or harmony with the surrounding environment. It's a concept used in understanding how families respond to stressors, challenges, and changes in their circumstances.
