Description
The Post- Permanency Continuum Framework is built on the premise that children in adoptive or guardianship families do better when their families are fully prepared and supported to address needs or issues as they arise. The Framework emphasizes prevention and preparation because when services and supports are not offered until families are on the brink of disruption and dissolution, then those services are often provided too late and do not serve the best interests of children and families. To achieve optimal effectiveness, services and supports should be preventative in nature, and support efforts should focus on proactively identifying risk and protective factors and putting supports in place before difficulties burden the capacity of the family to address challenges.
The framework consists of five intervals (universal, selective, indicated, and intensive services).
