Free Webinar: NTI in Practice: What National Data Reveal About Engagement and Impact

Children and youth in foster, adoptive, and kinship families often have complex mental health and developmental needs. Professionals across child welfare and behavioral health are looking for practical, effective ways to strengthen how they respond. The National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative (NTI) is a free, web-based training designed to help practitioners better address the needs of children and families affected by separation, loss, placement, and permanency transitions. In this session, we’ll examine what recent national data tell us about NTI’s reach, engagement, and impact.

This webinar shares what national data show about NTI’s reach and impact, including:

• Where NTI is being used and who is participating
• Who completes the training—and what supports make completion more likely
• Growth in knowledge, competency, and practice

You’ll also hear how participation and implementation data are being used to strengthen engagement efforts, what additional supports are available to participants, and examples from the field. Whether you are a leader deciding whether NTI is a fit for your organization, a supervisor supporting staff participation, or a practitioner considering enrolling yourself, this session offers a look at what we are learning about NTI and what appears to support meaningful engagement and application in practice.
