Adoption Competency Initiatives

Adoption affects 60% of households in the United States. Yet adoptive parents and their families struggle to find mental health professionals who understand the complexities of adoption.

C.A.S.E. seeks to fill this gap by providing mental health and child welfare professionals with training to become “adoption-competent.” Our programs help these professionals gain the skills, insight and experience necessary to serve the needs of the adoption and foster care communities.

We increase awareness of the deep need for adoption competency in mental health services because our families deserve to have access to effective, sensitive and expert care.
