BURTONSVILLE, MD — The Greater Washington Community Foundation (The Community Foundation) has awarded the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) a grant in the amount of $50,000 through the Fund for Children, Youth and Families to provide therapy sessions to 33 children in foster care in eight target jurisdictions in Northern Virginia; the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon and Prince William, and the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Manassas Park and Leesburg.  
Through October 2021, C.A.S.E. will support 33 children in foster care by serving families planning to adopt or arrange guardianship with a goal of at least one caregiver per family participating in three therapeutic sessions over three months. C.A.S.E. will also provide post-adoption therapy for children and their families with 24 weekly sessions over 6 months.
The program outcome measures will focus on the knowledge and skill gains of the caregivers, improvement in overall mood and behavior for the children receiving therapy and family satisfaction with the mental health services. To ensure the program serves families well, C.A.S.E. will monitor three targets including the needs of children who have been adopted and the supports available, pre- and post-adoption therapy, and the quality of service and families’ likeliness to return to C.A.S.E. To make a referral, contact C.A.S.E. at 866.217.8534 or via email at appts@adoptionsupport.org. Visit https://adoptionsupport.org/counseling-services/counseling-at-c-a-s-e/referrals/ to learn more.
