More Forever Families
In 2011, Casey’s Lifelong Families model helped 58% of youth exiting foster care achieve permanence with a lifelong family.
This issue of Casey Connects explores the power of relationships and the importance of connecting young people in foster care to permanent families. It highlights the work of Casey’s Child Welfare Strategy Group and Casey Family Services as well as a recent report on adolescent brain development by the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative.
To ensure that all children have a lifelong, loving family, the Foundation is promoting evidence-based practices that can help fragile families stay together and set young people on a path to success. In addition, Casey is supporting states in reducing their reliance on congregate care and utilizing cutting-edge technology to locate permanent family connections.
We hope you'll find value in this report. We’d love to get a little information from you, which we'll use to notify you about relevant new resources.
