Notes:	This essay reviews the outcomes of a Family Group Decision Making Project developed in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada before examining the role of a feminist praxis framework in Family Group Conferencing more generally. Recent US and Canadian developments are used to illustrate the benefits of such an approach and to construct a ‘links, interruptions’ model for conceptualising Family Group Conferencing as a mode of responding to domestic and family violence. Emphasising the model’s multiple aims of respecting family privacy, advancing women’s leadership and maintaining state and legal controls over perpetrators, it is argued that through placing partnership efforts between community agencies within a feminist praxis of ‘links, interruptions’, conventional notions of the family and how to respond to family violence will not limit the scope of women’s vision for change.
