Objective: To describe the experience with the application of Family Approach Tools, together with a family registered and assisted by a Family Health Strategy (ESF) team, in a municipality in the north of Minas Gerais - Brazil. Method: This is a case report of the family study type, developed with a qualitative approach. Between September 2021 and March 2022, professionals from a Family Health Strategy carried out home visits in which Family Approach Tools were used, characteristics and demands were surveyed, and the family conference was held, resulting in the proposal of a Singular Therapeutic Project. Results: By applying the Genogram, FIRO, PRACTICE, APGAR, and Family Life Cycle tools, it is possible to promote a better understanding of the functioning of the index patient and their relationships with the family and the community. In this way, it became possible to draw up a joint plan between the family and health professionals. Furthermore, individual and collective intervention strategies were implemented, respecting their lifestyles and identities, based on actions that involve, for example, everything from diagnosis to prevention, health promotion, and treatment. Final Considerations: The study demonstrated that Family Approach Tools are essential for the humanized and comprehensive work of the Family Health Strategy team, strengthening the bond between professionals and the family. The work of professionals allowed a reorganization of family dynamics, promoting the division of responsibilities and adherence to treatments with continuous and holistic monitoring.
