In re Felicia C.

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: The record establishes that petitioner discharged its statutory obligation to make diligent efforts to encourage and strengthen the parental relationship (see, Social Services Law § 384-b [7] [a]) by providing a number of parenting education, support group and counseling services to respondent and arranging for supervised visitation with the children (see, Matter of Gregory B., 74 NY2d 77 , 86). Those efforts were thwarted by respondent, however, who failed to avail herself of the services and programs offered (see, Matter of Sheila G., 61 NY2d 368 , 385; Matter of Christine B., 231 AD2d 916 , 917, lv denied 89 NY2d 806 ). Thus, Family Court properly terminated respondent’s parental rights on the ground of permanent neglect (see, Matter of Raymond B., 219 AD2d 800 , lv denied 88 NY2d 814 ). (Appeal from Order of Livingston County Family Court, Cicoria, J. — Terminate Parental Rights.) Present — Denman, P. J., Pine, Wisner, Callahan and Fallon, JJ.
