How Pathways to Permanency Program Can Help

“It’s amazing what consistency and a safe environment can do. When kids have that, they can thrive.” This is a quote from Beth Thompson, who knows first-hand how to help children who have experienced trauma. Three years ago, Beth and her husband Dan decided to foster three children, who they recently adopted. JRI's Pathways to Permanency program was able to provide them with support and coaching to help the family with the transition.
