A workbook for managers, supervisors and workers. A great tool
to bring the issues into the staff meeting for discussion and
development. Suggestions and requests from clients and foundations motivated
Maureen and me to create a curriculum for hour-long, refresher meetings
as vehicles to support and train/retrain staff in adolescent permanency.
We designed this new Toolkit to guide discussions on key permanency
concepts and issues. Click here for An overview of Families for Teens Click here for An outline of Families for Teens

The Family Bound Program is a
unique curriculum that prepares teens for family life. It provides
education and preparation about family life in nine two-hour workshop sessions.
Also It provides experience of family life through a kick-off “Pizza Party” and
five special family weekends with “practice” families who may be a foster,
adoptive, kin, birth, or “Bridge” family. Finally it gives you guidance on
recruiting and training Bridge Families. Bridge Families have never met their
teen before but have been recruited to work with a teen in the Program.
The Bridge Family concept is unique to the Family Bound Program but can
be useful in many different contexts. Three step-by step guides, first a guide
to the nine sessions and for working with participating families. Second a
Handbook for Teens to use as they go through the program. Third and
finally a Families’ Guide to the Family Bound Program. Click here for An overview of Family Bound Program Click here for An outline of Family Bound Program

The Toolkit is a unique workbook for professionals who need to
guide, train and supervise staff to insure permanence for the
adolescents on their caseloads. Organized into three sections,
"Making the Case for Permanence," "Choosing, Using and
Developing Tools with Teens," and "Supporting
Permanence," the Toolkit breaks down the issue of permanence for
teens into 27 short, staff-meeting-length, teachable units. Includes
a CD-ROM of the PowerPoint presentation of the complete Toolkit, unit
by unit and section by section. Click here for An overview of Adolescents & Families for Life
