Connections Count

Produced by the Annie E. Casey Foundation/Casey Family Services, Connections Count is an electronic newsletter focusing on best practices information, tools, research, and data emerging on youth permanence in child welfare at local, state, and national levels. Connections Count will highlight successful youth permanency work, strategies for overcoming barriers to permanence, and peer–to–peer exchanges about successes and challenges reported by on–the–ground staff, administrators, youth, and their families.

Connections Count aims to "clutter bust," allowing our readers access to up–to–date, expertly chosen information on youth permanency policy, practice, and research. It creates a community that will effectively advance the power, possibility, and priority of youth permanence.
