About Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.)

Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) is a national leader in mental health services for the adoption and foster care community with the core mission to improve the lives of children who have been adopted or in foster care and their families through counseling, lifelong education, and a growing national network of trained professionals. 

For over 25 years, C.A.S.E. has been combining best practices and innovation to provide specialized individual and family therapy, psychiatric services and support groups and have become a local, national, and international resource for adoptive, kinship and foster families and the professionals who support them. C.A.S.E set out in 2021 on a new strategic direction to grow CASE’s clinical and training programs into a National Teaching Clinic and Knowledge Center. It is an exciting time as CASE grows its evidenced-based adoption competent clinical model into a National Demonstration And Teaching Clinic and continues to expand its adoption competent training programs across the country.

C.A.S.E has an annual budget of $7.5 million and a staff of 55 employees.
