Thank you for your interest in Preparing Youth for Permanency Through Meaningful Relationships. The event registration is now closed. Please visit our recap blog to watch this webinar recording.
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
