A Team
Team - Teams - Teaming
Why Teams?
“The best way to achieve challenging goals is through teamwork:
Teams nurture, support and inspire each other”
“Leaders of the future will have to master the art of forming teams.
. . . Future leaders will have to master teamwork . . . and work with
and through others because no one person can possibly master all
the divergent sources of information necessary to make good
decisions.”
“The results of collaboration are greater than the sum of each
individual’s contributions This process is the major advantage of a
multi-agency collaborative approach as it creates something that
could not be achieved by any one of the individuals or member
organizations working in isolation.”
Annie E. Casey Foundation
Common approaches in Family Teaming
 Aim to involve families in addressing child’s safety, well-being
and permanence
 Collaborative and strength-based
 Belief that children’s outcomes improve when families
involved
 Team members share responsibility
