Beware the “Family Meeting”

02 Mar Beware the “Family Meeting”

“We had a family meeting and it was terrible!”.  Convening a family meeting sounds reasonable, right?  But poorly planned and executed family meetings can make a bad situation worse, even when a professional brought them together with the best of intentions.  It can also violate the family advisor’s first canon of practice to “do no harm” by actually making things worse; “No one wants to get together a second time”.  Family meetings can be deceptively difficult.  Exercise caution when putting them together and find a professional who knows what they’re doing.
