Philosophy:
Optimal child welfare decision are made in an open, inclusive
process by bringing together the family, extended family, Agency
staff, private providers and the community stakeholders.
Outcomes are focused on reducing risk to children and expediting
permanency. The Family Team Meeting is a model of team
decision-making that is strength based. At the Family Team
Meeting, everyone involved in the child’s and family’s life have
the opportunity to contribute to designing supports that protect
the child’s safety while stabilizing the family unit (both birth
and foster). This forum provides for team decision-making and
designs a plan in which consensus is reached.
