NET is committed to the goals of safety, permanency and well-being as the foundation of all child welfare practice. Ideally, children should be raised by their own parents or a close relative. When this cannot happen for short or extended periods of time, NET provides a continuum of Resource Home Care (previously referred to as “foster care”) options. We recognize and support that youth should not be raised by “the system” and provide services to facilitate reunification or, when that is not a viable option, adoption or permanent legal custody (PLC). NET’s Permanency Services have helped thousands of children and teens find safe, loving homes.
