Job Summary:
The Permanency Coordinator's (PC) role is to assist in establishing
lifelong connections for youth that support their success when
transitioning to the student's home community. PC's are expected to
develop and compile extensive knowledge about family history and
student development as well as to assess available resources in
these regions during the course of treatment. PC's provide family
and community support to residential students age 11-21.
Ultimately, the role of the PC is to ensure that the family and

the program is no longer involved with the family system.
They represent the student and agency at court, when requested,
provide communication with the family and referral systems, attend
treatment team meetings and maintain positive relationships with
the primary referral source(s). The PC communicates needed
information directly to the Milieu Clinician and treatment team
members. The PC meets with the family in the home, school or
community as indicated by the frequency and duration identified
within the student's individual treatment plan (ITP). The PC will
maintain ongoing phone contact with the family and referral system
to provide updates regarding the student's progress and barriers
within the residential setting.
Common PC responsibilities include development and implementation
of home safety contracts, identification and utilization of
community-based support/services, training family members on
effective parenting skills, use of and modeling positive
communication, informing team members of family barriers and other
tasks based on individual and family needs.
Documentation of these services provided is completed weekly for
each student on the assigned caseload. In conjunction with Milieu
Clinician, Academic Case Managers and Residential Faculty Members,
the PC completes Monthly Progress Reports and Discharge Summaries.
Following discharge from the residential program, the PC maintains
contact and provides services to the student and family as
identified in the Follow Along Program.
