QIC-AG Implementation of Pathways 2 Permanence (Texas)

This resource provides a detailed overview of Texas’s implementation of Pathways to Permanence 2: Parenting Children Who Have Experienced Trauma and Loss as part of the Quality Improvement Center for Adoption and Guardianship Support and Preservation (QIC‑AG). Implemented within the Focused Services interval of the QIC‑AG Permanency Continuum Framework, the intervention uses a trauma‑informed, interactive parenting series to support caregivers of children whose emotional, behavioral, or mental health needs may hinder movement to adoption or guardianship. The document describes the intervention’s goals, target population, and core components, highlighting how Pathways to Permanence 2 builds caregiver capacity to address trauma, grief, and loss and promotes stable, long‑term permanency outcomes for children and families in Texas.
