Lead Measure 7a: Participants in Family Team Meetings
Why is the lead baseline measure important? Engaging youth, families, attorneys, and other stakeholders in Family Team Meetings (FTMs) allows for early identification of strengths and opportunities and creates a team around the family. Inclusion of a wide range of participants benefits the family. There is currently no target number identified by the Kentucky Department for Children and Family Services for this metric. This data takes into consideration both count and percentage of participants as the denominator and those in attendance by group as the numerator. Parents are required participants at FTMs. What is significant about this graph? Other individuals* comprise the largest percentage involved in the FTM process, at a percentage exceeding 40%. Relatives are the least likely to be included or participate in FTMs.
*Includes but is not limited to CASA representatives, court attorneys, and medical and mental health professionals.
