Anchored Connections: Therapeutic Solutions for Healing will soon be offering Family Group Conference facilitation throughout the Colchester East Hants Area (from Enfield to Truro and surrounding areas). 

With historical roots in indigenous culture and restorative practices.  Initially family group conferences were used primarily within child protection and youth justice systems proceedings.  However, family group conferencing is now widely used and provides different perspective to respond to a wide variety of needs and situations including mental health and behavioural challenges.

Anchored Connections adopts a broad definition of family and can be contracted to facilitate family group conferences.  This includes preparing all participants for successful participation, facilitation of conferences which includes private family time and development of a coordinated care plan based on family decision making.  Along with appropriate follow up through ongoing family group conferences based upon mutually agreed upon time frames. 

With open communication family members including youth (if appropriate) and identified community and professional supports involved with the family will regularly gather to offer wrap around coordination, planning and service delivery.  The purposes of the family groups are to enhance information sharing, discuss concerns, increase access to supports/resources, and develop a family driven care plan.  Family group conferences ultimately enhance connection and relationship between families and professionals, and empowerment often facilitates healing.
