People suffering from rare syndromes as well as their families face the lack of scientific knowledge of medical staff, social consequences, financial difficulties and many others throughout their lives and are marginalized, both psychologically and economically, socially and culturally vulnerable. The aim of this thesis was to present some theoretical knowledge about Goldenhar syndrome and to analyze the elements of the family's resilience to cope with the stressors of raising a child with Goldenhar syndrome, their challenges that they face every day, as well as the support they receive from family, friends, and professional services. A qualitative research was conducted. In the research, five interviews were conducted, with two mothers who have children with Goldenhar syndrome and with an educational rehabilitator, a speech therapist and a geneticist who worked with the families. We also received a written review of the educator with whom the girl stayed in the group and of the psychologist who did the assessment for the school with the girl. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the research participants report a lack of professional help from health professionals, as well as the absence of support and psychological help at times when the family and the patient need it, and this is throughout their entire lives. The obtained results indicate the lack of research in this area in the Republic of Croatia and the importance of lifelong education of health professionals and familiarizing the general public with the problem in order to help families who have children with rare syndrome
