Family Meetings

Family Meetings

The Family Meetings Process is the Agency’s Traditional Decision Making process. The Family Meeting Coordinator, Lea Joe, provides a neutral setting for the social workers, immediate and extended family and other supports. The goal is to develop a plan to address the focus of the meeting, whether it’s Child Safety, Prevention, Permanency or Youth Transitions. Meetings are family directed planning processes grounded in Cowichan Cultural Teachings and meeting relevant policy and standards.
