This webinar explains how integrating diligent recruitment with adoption‑competent mental health services strengthens outcomes for youth in foster care. It outlines the core components of adoption‑ and child‑welfare‑competent mental health practice—such as essential provider skills, expectations, and standards—and emphasizes how coordinated recruitment and mental health supports improve caregiver readiness, placement stability, and permanency outcomes. The resource also guides agencies and professionals to tools, materials, and technical assistance from the National Center for Adoption Competent Mental Health Services to enhance service access and reinforce effective recruitment and retention strategies.
