C.A.S.E. has partnered with organizations nationwide, setting up 19 licensed Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) sites across 19 states to train mental health professionals in becoming adoption competent. As more TAC sites open, and more mental health professionals are trained, even more adoptive families across the country will have access to expert adoption-competent mental health care.
For individuals located in states without TAC sites – C.A.S.E. offers virtual TAC Trainings periodically. If you are interested in being notified when a new training is scheduled or if you are an agency interested in becoming an authorized TAC site, please email info@adoptionsupport.org
TAC trainings are offered by the following list of licensed TAC sites. Contact a site in your community to learn about upcoming training opportunities.
