School Based Adoption Competency for Mental Health Professionals

Free, web-based training: National Training Initiative’s School Based Adoption Competency for Mental Health Professionals developed by the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) It is important for educators and school mental health professionals to understand that children who have been separated from a birth parent and caregiver or who have experienced displacement are unique. The training consists of 8 modules and provides the foundational knowledge, values, skills, and resources for school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and school-based therapists to effectively support the mental health and well-being of children experiencing foster care, adoption, kinship care, and/or significant separation and loss of birth family, community, and culture.
