The Family Group Conference Model

The Family Group Conference (FGC) Model is a decision-making process that involves family members and professionals working together to address issues affecting a child's well-being. It empowers families to create their own solutions by bringing together relatives, caregivers, and support people to discuss concerns, share ideas, and develop a plan. The goal is to ensure that the child remains connected to their family and culture while prioritizing their safety and needs. This collaborative approach fosters trust, strengthens family bonds, and encourages shared responsibility among all parties involved in the child's life.
