External support systems for a family coping with a traumatic event such as a house fire can include grandparents, the parents' siblings, local social services agencies, and the family's religious leader. These resources can provide emotional support, financial assistance, and practical help with finding housing and replacing lost items. While communication skills are important, they do not constitute an external support system.
