Family Group Meeting

I am in theUK this is lead my social workers and school. The professional read out their concerns and then leave the room for the family to discuss the way forward. I have been advised to make sure that I don’t get pressured into offering more help than Ido at the moment.

I’d hate that! I’d be terrified of saying the wrong thing !

I might be wrong, but I can see it doing more harm than good.

Family mediation has been around along time in UK in various forms, had a friend who work in it many years ago.
I think if its offered try and go with as open a mind as you can....you never know it may help your grandchildren.

I've never heard of such a thing! I assume you're not in the U.K., am I right? In my day (I'm 60, my sons are in their 30s), parents dealt with any problems with their children, nobody else.

During these meetings, is there is a professional person (Health Visitor, teacher, etc) present?
