Community Based Family Team Meetings

Community Based Family Team Meetings allow families and other supportive individuals to come together in an effort to accomplish a specific goal. During the meeting participants establish a plan and find resources necessary for the desired outcome. Family Team Meetings are conducted with a trained facilitator who guides the discussion to keep everyone on track towards the desired goals, maintain an atmosphere of respect and safety, and ensure that a solid plan is developed.

When would a family team meeting be appropriate?

  • Keeping a child safely at home
  • Resolving disruptive behaviors
  • Helping students become more successful in school
  • Resolving concerns of suspension
  • Returning a child safely home from foster care
  • Increasing safety for family members
  • Helping a family become more self-sufficient
  • Involving family and community in treatment and recovery

The difference between Community Based Family Team Meetings and regular Family Team Meetings is that ANYONE can utilize Community Based Family Team Meetings, meaning the family does not have to be working with the Department of Human Services (DHS).
