An analytical and cross-sectional study is presented, with the objective of exploring the levels of family functioning, mental health, anxiety, self-esteem and quality of life in families in vulnerable situations in a Colombian Caribbean city. The final sample was made up of 50 families, for a total of 100 subjects (50 parents/caregiver, 50 adolescents). The Family APGAR, the Self reporting questionnaire (SRQ), the Whoqol-Bref, the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (IDARE) and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used as instruments. High levels of family dysfunction, anxiety and 67 significant correlations were found between the different variables, in turn, significant differences were found in the self-esteem variable between the group of parents/caregiver and adolescents. The existence of an association between family functioning, anxiety, self-esteem and quality of life in families in vulnerable situations was concluded, likewise, that there is a significant difference between the self-esteem of parents/caregivers and adolescents. Emphasis is placed on the importance of family functioning in the quality of mental health.
