QIC-AG Lessons Learned: Pathways 2 Permanence (Texas)

This resource highlights key lessons learned from Texas’s implementation of Pathways to Permanence 2 as part of the Quality Improvement Center for Adoption and Guardianship Support and Preservation (QIC‑AG). It summarizes practical insights gained from delivering a trauma‑informed, caregiver‑focused parenting series to families of children in Permanent Managing Conservatorship, including strategies for recruiting and engaging caregivers, adapting the curriculum to local contexts, and strengthening collaboration across systems. Intended for practitioners and system leaders, the document offers guidance to inform replication, adaptation, and sustainability of focused, pre‑ and post‑permanency interventions that aim to reduce barriers to adoption and guardianship and improve long‑term family stability.
