QIC-AG Implementation Manual for Pathways 2 Permanence (Texas)

The QIC-AG Texas Site Implementation Manual offers a detailed guide for child welfare agencies interested in implementing Pathways to Permanence 2: Parenting Children Who Have Experienced Trauma and Loss through the National Quality Improvement Center for Adoption/Guardianship Support and Preservation (QIC-AG). The manual documents Texas’s approach to delivering a trauma-informed, caregiver-focused intervention designed to strengthen adoptive and guardianship families and support long-term stability. It walks agencies through system assessment, theory of change development, readiness and fit analysis, implementation planning, workforce preparation, fidelity monitoring, and sustainability, while sharing practical lessons learned to support replication in other jurisdictions.
