Pathways to Permanency - Reunification: The Primary Permanency Planning Goal

Pathways to Permanency is a collection of courses designed for caregivers to strengthen their understanding of permanency options for children in out-of-home care, with a focus on the role of the Family Team in the permanency planning process. In this session, participants will explore the pathway of reunification, gaining insights into how child safety is assessed and how those decisions guide the process of bringing families back together. Participants will review permanency planning and best interest considerations for children. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the emotional experiences of all parties involved in the reunification process and will engage in discussions around trauma-informed strategies to support children during these transitions.
