This revised two-day experiential training developed in partnership with families from across North Carolina will provide an overview of Child and Family Team meetings from the family’s perspective. Families provided essential guidance in the development of this training through focus groups and direct involvement in curriculum writing.

The training is grounded in their knowledge and experience, especially regarding how to make Child and Family Teams successful, while to supporting the active involvement of families, children and youth in planning for the family. Participants should come ready to be actively engaged in the process for two full days. The majority of the training will be presented through the experience of mock Child and Family Team meeting role-plays. At various times throughout the training, participants will serve as members of the meeting process and as observers. Trainers will provide opportunities for connection, introspection, conversation, and exploration about how to best bring families to the table.

The training is 9 am – 4 pm each day. You must attend both days to receive credit for completion.
The training will be in-person at the Alliance office located at 5200 W. Paramount Parkway, Suite 200 Morrisville, NC 27560
