About this service
The Family Decision Making (FDM) circle is a process where extended families gather to plan for their children. The FDM circles have been highly successful in keeping our families unified and strong. Based on our values of collective responsibility, our model treats the wider family network of kin and community as a source of strength and seeks to actively involve them in decision making. As a collective perspective gives rise to a collective responsibility, this is our Indigenous way of caring for and supporting our families. Through this process we ensure connection to ancestral lands, culture and language for our children.
Family Decision Making Youth Justice circle is to serve those youth ages 12-17 that are in the criminal justice system and/or are in gangs or are vulnerable to gang involvement. This includes the youths core support group and family members come together to assist the youth to develop their plan of success for their future.
