Restorative Approaches Family Group Meeting Service

How can we help?

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.

What is a Family Group Meeting?

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.
