Earlier this year Eigen Kracht, a nongovernmental
social service agency in
Amsterdam, Netherlands, conducted its
1000th family group conference (known
as family group decision making in the
US). By the time eForum got in touch with
Eigen Kracht’s founder and director Rob
van Pagée in September 2007 that number
had already reached 1200. (excerpt)
