Our Story

FAMSA PE is a non-profit organisation situated in Port Elizabeth. FAMSA stands for Families South Africa. We believe that healthy families create healthy communities and are the foundation of our society. Secure families provide a favourable environment where family members can feel safe, reach their full potential, develop positive identities and form a set of values that will last a lifetime. FAMSA PE is involved with family preservation through preventive and remedial services which build on existing strengths in individuals, couples, groups and communities and helps people to deal with modern day stressors and issues that threaten family life. HISTORY The first bureau for Marriage Counseling in South Africa was established in 1948 in Johannesburg. It became an organization to which people with marriage problems could turn to for help. A National Family and Welfare Conference, with family problems and disintegration as the main theme, was held in Johannesburg in 1954. Dr. Mace and his wife Vera were invited to this occasion. After this conference the South African National Council for Marriage Guidance and Counseling was established on the 6th of October 1954.
