Adoption and Post Permanency Services
Post permanency refers to a range of supportive services available to families who adopt a child in Pennsylvania. This includes families who adopted a child previously in the custody of the child welfare system. Services include an assessment that helps families identify their strengths and needs, develop goals, and create a family support plan that will help families meet their goals. NET has a contract with the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) to provide these services. The services include case advocacy to help families identify and access additional community resources. Respite and support groups provide additional support as needed.
Families can access services by calling the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-7926 or by email at SWANHelpline@diakon-swan.org. SWAN will send the referral to a contracted agency. Ask for NET Centers . All family members, including birth children, are eligible for these SWAN services.
If you have further questions about the services prior to reaching out to SWAN for a referral, please contact NET at 267-479-6915
