Social Post 1: The Importance of Adoption Competent Mental Health Practice
Adoption competent care transforms lives not just for families today, but for generations to come.
The National Center for Adoption Competent Mental Health Services (NCACMHS) and ________(insert STT name) are raising awareness about the need for mental health care that understands the child welfare experience.
It’s essential that professionals recognize the impact of early trauma, separation, and loss—and are equipped to meet the complex needs of children and families.
Together, we’re helping to build a workforce that supports healing, stability, and lasting change. Learn more on the National Center website.

Social Post 3: Adoption Competency for Mental Health Practitioners
Creating an adoption competent workforce means ensuring every professional, from mental health to child welfare, understands the unique experiences of adoption, foster care, and kinship families.
Empowering a skilled workforce through development of key competencies will further strengthen the continuum of effective post-permanency supports available to families and ensure child and family well-being.

Social Post 4: Core Issues/Core Competencies
Experiencing separation and loss and navigating a permanency journey impacts every part of a person’s identity. The core issues (including loss, grief, rejection, guilt, shame, and identity) can surface at different stages of life for children and their families.
Adoption competent professionals are trained to understand children’s behaviors in the context of their relationships and of their experiences within the child welfare system. In their practice, these professionals respond empathically to the underlying needs of children and families through family-centered and trauma-informed care. By building core competencies, practitioners can guide families toward understanding, resilience, and connection.
