Jim: conclusions: Few policies address AFMs; Few government statements are family-positive Questions: having done this initial research. , what do you think are the reasons why so few policies address AFMs, and so few government statements are family-positive? • More importantly, what do you think we can do, to make policies more AFM focused? • • • Jan: Conclusions • It is possible that brief educational events can initially influence providers’ views of well-established, but ineffective labels and terms. • The challenge is to shift staff and programs towards the utilization of models and approaches that are evidence-based. • When families need services, it is essential to provide those that help - not harm. • Questions: • Jan, these conclusions are great, but how do we make this happen?
