Monitoring Teams? Family Team Members
Qualifications
Team Leaders No! POPS syndrome
I often use staff
Peers – Builds staff capacity to understand and partner
Parents Important to use others besides staff
– We must use a wide variety of families it can be
consuming without a large pool of family team
members.
– Having others be a part is valuable and builds the
capacity of teams regarding working with families.
Hard Work In the beginning we held workshops to teach
facilitation skills and review the entire process
