This journal article describes the Family Group Conferencing (FGC) model, piloted in New Zealand and now used in the United States and other countries. It also describes a culturally competent method for assessing and adapting the FGC model for the African American, Cherokee, and Latino/Hispanic communities in North Carolina. The authors describe the FGC model as 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 members.
