Abstract

A social work seeking the real protection of children is, first of all, aimed at projecting broad support networks, capable of generating welfare for children and youth who are living in difficult family situations. An innovative model that can come in help in this regard is that of the Family group conferences (FGC) proposed a relational process, accompanied by the figure called facilitator in which the extended family and significant others of public services for families make decisions on behalf of children and young people who require the preparation of a project to protect and care to ensure their welfare. Such an approach would emphasize how interventions that are exclusively professionals who decide, take the family to take a passive attitude delegation on coping with the situation. The Family Group Conference is a valid antidote to this risk because look at the family as the main protagonist of his journey of change, considering potentially endowed with strength and ability to generate positive solutions to the lives of children and youth. Stages of developing the exposed pattern of an event process.
