To put it simply, adoptive families need lifetime support to be successful. The journey doesn't end once the adoption is complete, guardianship has been granted, or a family has been reunified-it's just beginning, and we are there every step of the way.
  
 Our children have experienced significant trauma, abuse, and neglect that has impacted their brain development. Because they are unable to regulate their behavior, both the children and their caregivers need the specific training and support that we offer for life, at no cost to them. Without these resources, our children are at a higher risk for failed adoptions, trafficking, addiction, houselessness, abuse, and incarceration.
  
 Our post-permanency services help families facing a wide range of challenges.  We offer a support array that allows us to help families when crises arise, help them advocate for their child’s academic needs, provide parent coaching, connect them with mental health resources, and navigate birth family connections. Ongoing training is essential for parents caring for children who have experienced trauma. Therefore, we offer monthly webinars and support groups, along with training series and workshops. Many of our families need respite but struggle to find people or programs equipped to care for their children’s unique needs. Our nationally recognized Rec-n-Respite program and Family Respite services offer parents valuable time for self-care while providing fun, therapeutic support for the children.
