Youth Villages – Chattanooga TFC team member stated,

“NTI was an amazing collection of resources and knowledge surrounding adoption and permanency for kids in foster care. The videos were my favorite part and allowed me to see how important all aspects of permanency are for the kids involved. The NTI training was an informative and helpful approach to the side of adoption that I typically don’t work with or encounter. I’m thankful for the tools that I received in order to better help my kiddos when they reach that milestone. NTI made me re-evaluate the importance of resources for families from fostering all the way to adoption. The training allowed me to see that permanency doesn’t just stop at adoption or stepping down, but that it is a continuum of services that these kids need to succeed.”

A Knoxville TFC Clinical Supervisor stated,

“My team and I enjoyed completing the NTI training. It was very beneficial and applicable that the training specifically targeted child welfare workers, verses an overall mental health training. All the material was evidenced and research based with practical interventions that can be implemented. The lessons were relevant to the work we do in foster care and gave us valuable resources to better our practice. The self-assessments/evaluations were great for personal development to identify areas we need to target and expand on in our practice. The modules addressed multiple learning styles, which was helpful to ensure each staff received the information in the best way for them.“
