How often should CFTM occur?

How often should CFTM occur?

• A. Every 3 months
• B. Every 2 months
• C. Every 6 months
• D. Every 12 months

Answer: (A)

Regular, quarterly Child and Family Team Meetings keep the plan current and everyone aligned. Meeting every three months provides timely updates on safety, risk, and progress toward goals, and it keeps families and supports actively involved in shaping the plan. This cadence makes it easier to adjust strategies quickly as circumstances change and to address new concerns early. If risks appear or progress stalls, the meeting can be scheduled sooner. Longer intervals, like six or twelve months, risk losing track of changes and delaying needed changes to the plan.
