Use page 1 of the CTPF to map the potential team membership of the youth from role-play or actual youth/family you are working with per activities 4.1. and 4.2. See Handout 4.6 for CTPF.

Consider the following as you do this activity:

• Core team members are those who have major responsibility, daily or almost daily contact with the student or control over major decision-making regarding the student.
  
  
• Extended team members may be critical to effective interventions (i.e. a friend or a coach) but may not be a key decision-maker about major decisions such as where the student lives or attends school etc.
  
  
• Consider natural support persons, persons representing strengths of the youth and people representing resources/skills needed to meet needs identified by the youth/family.
  
  
• Team membership should reflect culture, values, life experiences of the youth/family.
  
  
• Team membership is key to the youth/family feeling as if it is their team and their plan instead of feeling as if they are attending a meeting some system (i.e. school) is having about them.
