Great Community Resources Available!
We have some great materials hosted on the Community Resources page on our website. These resources are broken down into six categories: Educational Resources for Supporting Youth in Substitute Care, Facilitating a Child and Family Team Meeting (CFT) Resources, Including Youth and Children in CFTs Resources, Natural Supports in CFTs Resources, Resiliency Resources, and Additional Resources. We hope that through making these resources available, they will be used to better families in our communities across the state.
