The Family Squeeze describes the ups and downs of a family throughout a generation who are always brought together by one thing: a family squeeze. The Family Squeeze is meant to show that through both happy and sad times bringing together the family through physical touch builds resilience. With trauma unfortunately being widespread in our society, the family squeeze represents both a strategy and message that there will be different emotions and experiences throughout a young person's life, but through a seemingly simple gesture such as a family squeeze that families can endure together.
