Child Welfare's Responsibility to Promote Child and Family Well-Being Post Permanence: The Need to Create a Robust Permanency Continuum Framework Webinar

Quality Improvement Center for Adoption and Guardianship Support and Preservation

The National Quality Improvement Center for Adoption/Guardianship Support and Preservation (QIC-AG) is committed to learning what services and supports—when provided at the right time and intensity for a family’s level of need—will promote family preservation and prevent discontinuity. To guide this work, the QIC-AG developed a Permanency Continuum Framework. The Framework is built on the premise that children in adoptive or guardianship families fare better when their families are fully prepared and supported to address issues as they arise, before any issue escalates into a crisis. The Framework is arranged into eight intervals, beginning with pre-permanence and continuing to post-permanence needs. 

This webinar will provide an overview of the Framework and how the eight QIC-AG partner sites utilize it to assess their system of care. Through the use of a video, participants will obtain a detailed explanation of each interval in the Framework; including the target population and practice principles, as well as the interventions chosen by each site.
