18. Permanency Pact
It is critical to the youth’s success to identify those adults
who will continue to provide various supports through and
beyond the transition from care.
Clarifying exactly what the various supports will include
can help to avoid gaps in the youth’s safety net and
misunderstandings between the youth and the supportive
adult(s).
