WIDENING THE CIRCLE: CHILD AND FAMILY TEAMS AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
This two-day advanced training provides strategies for fostering safe and effective participation at child and family teams when there is a history of family violence, alcohol and other drug addictions, and mental health concerns. Attention is devoted to meeting preparations and facilitation and to ways in which the agency can offer a supportive context for carrying out these meetings. “Widening the circle” from the nuclear family to a network of informal and formal supports is set forth as the means of safeguarding child and adult family members. Exercises are used to develop competencies in four strategies for safe and effective participation: cultural safety, community partnerships, family leadership, and inclusive planning. The training is intended to prepare child and family teams facilitators, referring workers, and supervisors of referring workers for holding child and family teams with serious safety issues.
