The Implementation of Group Intervention Programs: A Tool to Promote Collaboration between Services in the Child Protection System

Résumé

There are many agents involved in the family reunification processes of the child protection system, which requires rethinking collaboration between services. A mixed-method design including a quantitative survey (n = 93) and 14 qualitative focus groups (n = 43) was applied to investigate the attitudes of the protection system professionals towards the implementation of a group intervention program for family reunification. The results indicate the need for collaboration between the protection system services and highlight the elements that professionals identify as key to developing this collaboration.
