B4 - Partnership & Promise: Meeting the Needs of the Family First Prevention Services Act with the Legal Partnership for Permanency®

With the passage of the Family First Prevention Services Act, children and youth agencies (CYA), courts, and service providers will be called upon to implement new and demanding policies that protect and sustain children in their care. The Legal Partnership for Permanency® program provides permanency services to agencies such as a nationally recognized diligent search process, knowledgeable paralegals in every county CYA, and attorney trainers who create specialized workshops for agencies and stakeholders. This session will outline the program and explore the ways that strategic interventions can be replicated to aid other child and youth agencies.
