Ontario Family Group Conferencing Coordinator Roster

Agencies can contact coordinators directly to contract for conference coordination. This list will be updated regularly.

However, as the Provincial Resource Team, we are encouraging agencies to develop an organizational culture that supports Family Group Conferencing before referring their first case to a coordinator.

For further information, please contact Carolina Pizarro at cpizarro@georgehull.on.ca or 416-622-8833 x 412.
