Too often, permanency preparation begins only after a family is found, ignoring the deep-seated trauma that can make trust and attachment feel out of reach for youth. This webinar advocates for starting preparation early, using a network of supportive adults to help youth learn the social and emotional skills necessary for healthy relationships. By focusing on individualized, trauma-informed strategies, we empower youth to build the resilience and readiness they need to truly thrive in a safe, permanent home.
Join us for this important conversation to:
-
Understand the importance of early permanency preparation in supporting positive, long-term outcomes for youth in foster care
-
Identify key strategies for tailoring permanency preparation to each youth’s cognitive, emotional and developmental needs
-
Apply trauma-informed practices to permanency preparation that promote healing and stability, ensuring that youth feel safe and supported throughout the process
-
Engage supportive adults in preparing youth for permanency and helping them build healthy, trusting relationships
