For Professionals

This section of the Resource Hub includes tools, guides, and other resources not necessarily related to PPPC and PSS contracts, that may be helpful for professionals who provide support to the kinship, foster, and adoption communities in Minnesota.

This list is not comprehensive and maintenance of this page will be ongoing as new resources are developed and current resources are updated. Due to programmatic capacity and the nature of the Permanency Services Resource Hub, we are not able to accept unsolicited suggestions or requests for resource additions.

As you navigate through the professional sections of the hub, you may encounter some password-protected areas containing resources, information, and meetings that are specific to DCYF, County, PPPC, and PSS workers that would not be appropriate to access for the general public, families, or other professionals who do not fill these front-end or PPPC/PSS grant-specific roles. 

If you are a DCYF, County, PPPC, or PSS worker and need access to these password-protected areas, please email FAM Resource Hub staff at info@permanencyhubmn.org. Be sure to use your professional email and indicate your title and affiliation when requesting the password.

All professionals are encouraged to explore other areas of the Resource Hub, as many of the resources included throughout the site may be helpful to you in your roles as well!
