Programs that work with families involved with the child welfare system using a process that brings together the strengths of families outside the courtroom setting to find solutions for children who have come into foster care or are at risk for placement outside the home due to abuse or neglect.

In most instances, families participate in family group conferencing on a voluntary basis, though in a few locations, meetings are court-ordered.
