School-Based Mental Health Professionals Training
School-Based Mental Health Professionals Training
Adapted from the National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative (NTI), this training was uniquely created to address the complex needs of students experiencing adoption, foster care, or kinship care and support the well-being of K-12 students!
Free, web-based, interactive training for your school and school district:
Reaching across our nation with the goal of impacting every school district, this training is an essential part of a trauma-informed system for schools striving for students’ well-being.
It 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.
The 8 modules focus on support and therapeutic interventions which improve well-being and promote permanency for K-12 students and their foster, adoptive, and guardianship families. The self-paced content can also be relevant for addressing the needs of immigrant / refugee populations and students who are experiencing other types of traumatic experiences.
