Every child that comes into care has an urgent need to be restored by loving, healthy, committed, and consistent connections; whether it is their biological family, a resource family, or a willing person who has stepped up to love, care for, and nurture them. Data shows that children thrive when they know they are loved and have a sense of belonging. Come listen to Los Angeles County Probation Department share their strategies to support youth and families to establish permanency as well as learn about the permanency process.
