when are people not people?

I thought that "Y" cannot be used with regard to people. But have just been given a correct answer as Il pense à sa famille. Elle y pense aussi. Is family not a unit of people?

This question relates to:French lesson "Y can replace à + [thing/object/location] (French Adverbial Pronouns)"
