TOOLBOX NO. 3 Facilitating Permanency for Youth

“Who wouldn’t want a family? How can practitioners best achieve permanency for teens? How has child welfare come to view “another planned permanent living arrangement” as the default permanency option for adolescents? This toolbox helps answer these difficult questions for child welfare workers and supervisors. Teenagers need and deserve families as much as any other child, but they also need to learn independent-living skills and to become independent adults, and because of this dichotomy, many workers find it easier to simply give up on finding permanent homes for teens.”
