Strengthening Relationships
Family violence strains family relationships and cultural ties. A family group approach strengthens these relationships by centering the family, their relatives, and close supports in safeguarding all members. Risk-averse jurisdictions, however, may prohibit the practice, and workers may hesitate to invite the children. Such responses diminish the opportunity for adults to be inspired by the children to act and for children to gain participatory …
Theorising restorative justice
A Restorative Approach to Family Violence
A Restorative Approach to Family Violence looks back at an early and successful demonstration of a family and culturally based model to stop severe family violence. This conferencing model, called family group decision making, was applied by three diverse Canadian communities—Inuit, rural, and urban—to the benefit of child and adult family members. Narrative inquiry identifies how engaging the family and relatives resets the narrative from misrec…
Family and Community Approaches to Intimate Partner Violence
Now is the time to rethink reliance on legal intervention to end intimate partner violence (IPV). Arrest, incarceration, and family separation have fallen disproportionately on people who are Black or Brown, impoverished, or immigrant, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ). Restorative approaches bring together the persons harmed, persons causing harm, their family or community networks, or combinations of these stakeholders. Base…
Contextual Adaptation of Family Group Conferencing Model
Guatemala has faced a disproportionate number of children placed outside their families through unethical intercountry adoptions or into large residential settings, jeopardising child and family rights. In response, an international team conducted a pilot training in Guatemala on family group conferencing (FGC) as a means of maintaining children in their homes or with their kin. The training participants were child welfare professionals from gove…

Child and Family Teams Building Social Capital for At-Risk Students
We argue that sociologists interested in social capital theory and social work scholars interested in child and family teams (CFTs) can productively collaborate in studying at-risk youth. Social capital theory suggests dimensions of CFTs that delineate both family meeting intervention and implementation of the resulting plan. These dimensions reflect both bonding and bridging social capital that strengthen and widen supportive networks for studen…
Family group conferencing as a culturally adaptable intervention
Intercountry adoptions prevent institutionalization but may erode children’s rights to their families and cultural heritage. Family group conferencing offers a culturally adaptable intervention that looks for domestic solutions before turning to out-of-country placements. Guatemalan social work education offers a hospitable environment in which to promote its extension to adoptions
Exploring organizational culture and climate in community coalitions
There is little research on the effects of organizational culture and organizational climate in community coalitions. This study investigated School Readiness Coalitions during their formative period to test the association between indicators of organizational culture and climate and the influence on collaborative capacity to plan services. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis found three factors to explain 48% of the variance in coalition c…
Family Team Meetings as Principled Advocacy
Involving families in decision making is especially challenging when children are removed on an involuntary and emergency basis. To encourage participation of families, legislation for child welfare enacted in Washington, DC extended the time before a first hearing from 24 to 72 hours so that a family team meeting could be held to develop a plan for presenting in court. This article reports the qualitative findings from an external evaluation of …
Expedited family group engagement and child permanency
Restorative Practices and Child Welfare
Child welfare systems in the United States are failing to include families in making plans, and this reduces their success in stabilizing children's placements and promoting children's well‐being. A North Carolina study demonstrates how one restorative practice—family group conferencing (FGC)—advances family participation in child welfare planning. A sample of 27 conferences showed that the 221 family group members outnumbered the 115 service pro…
Safety Conferencing
To reach out to women from different backgrounds, the battered women's movement needs to place women and their informal supports at the center of a coordinated response. This article shares the views of domestic violence survivors, staff, and supporters on how to create such a coordinated and inclusive response, lays a conceptual foundation for a decision-making forum called safety conferencing, and sets forth guidance for its practice. Safety co…
Family Group Conferencing in Child Welfare
A regulatory approach compels the child welfare worker to make decisions according to set procedures and prevents responding flexibly to families. Differential response is a way that child welfare is departing from legal formalism. One means is convening a family group conference (FGC) to develop a plan. John Braithwaite's regulatory pyramid assists in concep- tualizing differential response. This article reports a factor analysis of data on achi…
Increasing the Cultural Responsiveness of Family Group Conferencing
Child welfare struggles to manage child abuse and neglect and to seek permanency for children, while being culturally responsive to the communities it serves. Family group conferencing, piloted in New Zealand and now used in the United States and other countries, is a strengths-based model that brings together families and their support systems to develop and carry out a plan that protects, nurtures, and safeguards children and other family membe…
Participatory Research as Social Work Practice
Social workers who are committed to empowerment and social change are likely to consider counseling, groupwork, community organizing, and social planning while overlooking research as another vehicle for carrying out their mission. There are numerous participatory research approaches that span the continuum from individual-level, to program-focused, to community-centered efforts to promote social change. For many social workers, it is a daunting …
Feminist Links, Postmodern Interruptions
Postmodern perspectives can constructively interrupt conventional views as long as social workers remain linked to feminist and other intersecting emancipatory movements. This article deconstructs the dichotomy between science and practice and presents a class exercise to illustrate how an analysis of feminist links–postmodern interruptions can promote a self-critical and proactive education in foundation courses for largely female students in hi…
Feminism and Labor Unions
Usually, feminist service programs must rely on state funding, and as a consequence, may be diverted from advancing women's agendas. They require stratagems, preferably backed by the law, to counter these pressures. A study of labor unionized shelters in Canada and the United States found that one possibility is collective bargaining. These women's programs and their unions demonstrated that they can effectively transform state regulation at two …
Feminist Social Work Education in Mainstream and Nonmainstream Classrooms
Women's courses continue to face questions about their contribution to the social work curriculum and their relevance for mainstream and nonmainstream students. The study described in this article compared the effects of feminist social work education in three classes of predominately white students with those in one class of native Canadian and immigrant students. In all the classes, the students' feminist identification increased, practice appr…
Consensual Bargaining
The conventional adversarial model of labor-management negotiations and the unions' role in protecting its members' economic interests appear to conflict with egalitarian relationships, consensual decision making, and social movement goals of small collectively oriented workplaces. Based on a study of the unionization of fourteen Canadian and six American battered-women's programs, the process b which these conflicts are acknowledged and resolved…

Union Participation of Canadian and American Social Workers
Social workers are increasingly joining labor unions, and, today, in both Canada and the United States, their rate of union participation exceeds that of the general work force. However, despite many similarities between these neighboring countries, the level of union membership of American social workers is distinctly below that of their northern counterparts. Facilitators of and constraints on social work unionization are identified. Labor rela…
