 What is permanency, anyway? This workshop is designed for human service and clinical professionals looking to increase their understanding of the concept of permanency and the implications a lack of permanency has across all domains including educational, therapeutic, and community-based settings. Participants will gain an increased understanding of why it is important for all stakeholders to prioritize permanency, as well as obtain concrete skills and resources to help navigate these conversations.
