Family Group Conference

Has anyone participated in this, that could give me some insight? I haven't heard of it before, a social worker recently suggested it.

It sounds great....in theory. But I cannot see this working in some high conflict cases...e.g. I do not want to see what would happen if I put my mom and sister in the same breathing space as my ex.

I did a bit of research on this last night, I think it could be useful if it was done separately. i.e. here is a safety net plan at Mom's house and one at Dad's. But I agree, it would just end up being a pissing contest, if we were all in the same room.

I find CAS useful with their resources, i.e. helping with respite care, getting funding, finding resources, school placements etc but not so good at helping Dad. Or maybe its because he doesn't need/want the help.
