About Technical Assistance
The Post-Adoption Center is a hub for universal and on-site technical assistance and other resources to support states, tribal nations and territories (sites) as they develop, implement and sustain comprehensive, community responsive and accessible post-permanency services.
The Post-Adoption Center provides access to various resources that will enable sites to provide practical, community centered services to families that have achieved permanency through adoption or guardianship. The Post-Adoption Center’s services are free of charge, collaborative and driven by community engagement.
