The conferences are for families who are clients of New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), where children are either in placement or the degree of risk places children in jeopardy of imminent out-of-home placement. The process brings people and resources together including the family, extended family, community friends, service providers, clergy, school personnel, DYFS staff and others. It allows the family system to create their own safety plans for children. The family becomes empowered through the coordination and actual conference to establish their own plans that address the issues of permanency, safety and well-being of their children. In a Family Group Conference, separated families or families at risk of being separated, and people they identify as supportive are brought together to discuss family concerns. With the assistance of a facilitator and co-facilitator, the participants discuss the best options and ideas. 231818 224907 Job Training and Employment Programs - During the past 20 years, the Newark Business Training Institute has been recognized by New Jersey as a "best -practice" model in the transition from welfare to work.
