Conjugation of verbs

Do the singular names that refer to groups take the same conjugation like (il/elle) or like (ils/elles) 

Ex: is it la famille est or la famille sont ?

Gojo, 

attached a link to a lesson that refers to the agreement with collective nouns in French.  

 ‘ La famille est heureuse ‘ for example.

 Some plural English nouns are singular in French and vice versa
