The Training and Technical Assistance division of the The NYS Adolescent Services Resource Network is responsible for providing on-site training and technical assistance to public and private child welfare agencies in New York State focused around issues related to the provision of quality services to adolescents in the foster care system.

As is mandated by the NYS OCFS, our work is currently prioritized toward providing technical assistance to agencies - including foster parents, social workers, and child welfare workers on a wide range of issues that relate to adolescents.

Our staff - in collaboration with the New York State regional and central offices of OCFS - provides individualized assessments of needs, explores initiatives already in place, and strategically works with child welfare agencies to tailor our services to address and sustain changes needed.
