QIC-AG Permanency Continuum Framework: Indicated

This resource describes the Indicated interval of the QIC‑AG Permanency Continuum Framework, which focuses on prevention‑oriented services for adoptive and guardianship families who have begun to experience emerging challenges after permanence has been achieved but before a full crisis develops. It explains how indicated services respond to families’ requests for help by providing timely, targeted supports to address escalating behaviors, stressors, or changes in family dynamics. The document guides child welfare systems and practitioners in intervening early to stabilize families, reduce the risk of post‑permanency disruption, and promote long‑term well‑being.
