Michigan Learning Activities Series:

PERMANENCY

This Permanency Webinar consists of three different learning activity opportunities:

• Video: Belonging Matters: Removing Barriers to Permanency in Provider Agencies.  This video is less than an hour long.  Although it is targeted to all levels of leadership and clinical staff, all residential staff and stakeholders will be able to learn how to improve their organizations’ focus on permanency. The video highlights executive staff and a youth partner from Plummer Youth Promise (MA), and a family partner leader and adoptive parent from Stanford Sierra Youth and families (CA).  The faculty share key strategies, program practices and staff skills important to ensure safe and enduring permanency for every young person served.
• Educational Materials: There are several educational materials included for viewers (e.g., the power point slide deck of the presentation; a document summarizing key points made during the webinar; a curated list of permanency resources for residential programs; etc.)
• Access to an additional web-based three-part self-guided FREE Asynchronous* Training  for ALL residential staff and stakeholders: It Can’t Happen Without You – The Essential Role of Direct Care Staff in Permanency.  Total training time is 2.5 hours.  Each course is presented in mini sessions [EG: 5 – 10 min], so participants can complete individual sessions and pause, complete course by course, or complete the full training at once. The link to register is in the “Follow-Up Opportunities” area next to the webinar.
