Evaluations: Family Group Conferencing or Family Unity Model

[Mark Horwitz <jmmh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kathy Blew and others,

I'm currently designing an evaluation of a three year family group
decision-making program funded by ACYF that will be facilitating permanent
placements in kinship homes in Massachusetts.  It occurs to me there may be
a number of us starting up research projects in this area.  I'd be
interested in finding ways we can share ideas and perhaps coordinate some
of these activities. It would be useful if even a single aspect of our
designs was simlar enough to do meaningful comparisons. I'm glad to serve
as a contact person if anyone wants to explore this idea.
