Youth Voices for Permanency

Four Steps Judges and Court Professionals Can Take to Promote Permanency for Youth in Foster Care

Ensuring that foster youth find life-long permanent connections is a critical resiliency factor. Voice for Adoption, in partnership with Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, has created a Permanency Guide Bench Card and a full-length guide which had input from foster youth, judges, advocates, and child welfare organizations.

Please feel free to share this with anyone in the important role of supporting permanency outcomes for youth in foster care by sharing this website or the Permanency Guide Bench Card.pdf and  the Youth Voices For Permanency Courtroom Guide on How Courts and Judges Can Make a Difference
