How Permanency-Competent Care Improves our Whole Community

To support not only families formed through adoption, kinship, guardianship, or foster care, but all individuals impacted.

About this Event

Join us at Noël's at The Franklin Events Center to discover the impact of providing stable and nurturing environments for children in need.

The effects of permanency-related issues reach most members of our community, and yet is still considered a niche topic for professionals and caregivers. Learn from lived-experts on how we as professionals and caregivers can create a permanency-competent care system in Vermont. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a positive change in our community. Reserve your spot now!
