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.

Permanency means more than placement. It means helping children and families build secure attachments, maintain healthy connections, and navigate challenges over time with understanding and compassion.
Permanency thrives when systems and professionals work together to strengthen families through every stage.
Explore how permanency competent mental health services can transform the lives of children and families on the National Center website.

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.

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.
Learn more about the Core Issues of Adoption and the Core Competencies of Adoption Competent Practice on the National Center website.
