Description
Describes the post-permanency program the Post-Adoption Center hopes all sites will implement to support adoptive and guardianship families who have more serious needs. The manual shares information about why these family’s need additional support and how the post-permanency program model integrates into a site’s full range of post-permanency support services. It highlights key aspects of an effective program, describes how the model serves as a one-stop shop for coordinated services for families with intensive needs and details each program component with site examples to illustrate them in action. The manual helps states, tribal nations, and territories understand the Post-Adoption Center’s program model, compare it to their systems, and identify potential enhancements. It also offers suggestions for sites looking to address fundamentals or modify program components.
