Family Group Decision Making: A Rich Partnership Between Families and Systems (Pre-Conference Seminar D)

Family Group Decision Making:
A Rich Partnership Between Families and Systems
(Pre-Conference Seminar D)

Close to 150 U.S. communities now implement family group decision making (FGDM) initiatives, a significant increase from the five communities identified in a 1995 survey on innovative practices and system reform conducted by the American Humane Association. Due to the burgeoning interest in this approach, seminar presenters provide a historical overview of FGDM together with philosophies embodied in its practice, as well as define terms, describe FGDM models and processes, and discuss approaches to creating and sustaining partnerships with families and within communities and steps to beginning implementation strategies. The seminar includes stimulating training exercises to challenge participants to fully consider the potential positive outcomes of this approach.
