Whether children in foster care achieve permanency through reunification with their parents, permanent placement with kin, or adoption by non-relatives, they and their families are likely to need a range of services and supports.
In this monograph Madelyn Freundlich and Lois Wright explore in detail:
- Ongoing post-permanency needs of children and their birth, kinship, and adoptive families
- Services and supports that are most responsive to those needs
- Policies, practices, and programs that are key to ensuring successful post-permanency
Published in 2003 by Casey Family Programs, this 208-page book will be helpful to:
- Professionals who draft policy issues, design and implement comprehensive programs, or deliver services
- Advocates working to expand availability and access to post-permanency services
- Families, both as validation of their post-permanency experiences and to support their advocacy efforts to improve the lives of the children and youth in their care
