Is something going on in your family that may be affecting your children’s well-being or safety?

Do you have a decision to make regarding your children, but don’t want someone else making that decision for you?

Do you think you and your extended family know what is best for your children?

Do you want to work with your family, friends, and service providers to make the best decisions for your children?

If you said “yes” to these questions, The Village Family Service Center can help. Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) is a problem-solving process that provides families with the opportunity to make important decisions about a child in the family. Following a request for services, a Village FGDM facilitator brings together the child, parents, extended family, caregivers and service providers in order to resolve a child’s well-bring or safety.

This program is offered to North Dakota families at no charge. Just tell us when you’re ready to get started.
