The Restorative Approaches Family Group Meeting (RAFGM) Service is for families who are experiencing conflict within their family and need support to find solutions. The service helps families to overcome difficulties by building, maintaining and where necessary repairing relationships. Family members will be encouraged to identify their strengths, skills and resources to make positive changes.
A Restorative Approaches Family Group Meeting is where family members, friends and relevant people come together to discuss and make plans for the future. The RAFGM Practitioner will work with you to support and help you prepare and attend the meeting.
To learn more about what you can expect from a Family Group Meeting, watch our introductory video:
You can access our service if your child/young person has an allocated Social Worker within Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot, Ceredigion or Pembrokeshire Children’s Services and you are experiencing family difficulties and need to make a plan for the future. You need to discuss making a referral with your Social Worker or you contact us to see if the referral is appropriate.
We welcome feedback from all those who have experience with our service. Feedback helps us make our service better.
