POST-PERMANENCY SERVICES
Post-permanency services include case assessment, case advocacy/case management, respite, and support group.
Starting with an assessment of the current resource family, we are able to determine the need for formal post-permanency services. The post-permanency worker is there to ensure that the family can access services to meet any post-permanency needs in order to help that family function successfully and to prevent disruptions.
Post-permanency services are offered to all families in the state of Pennsylvania who provide permanency to youth. Permanent arrangements include formal kinship placement, permanent legal custodianship, and adoption. There is no fee for these services.
To request post-permanency services through Family Care for Children and Youth, please call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-7926 or email them at SWANHelplilne@diakon-swan.org and ask for Family Care for Children and Youth to be your provider.
