    NTI Adoption Competency Virtual Coaching & Consultation Series 

    Live Support Sessions for Child Welfare Professionals

    These four free, live virtual coaching sessions are designed to enhance and deepen learning from the National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training for Child Welfare Professionals (NTI). Led by experienced NTI adoption support instructors, each session provides a space to connect theory to real-world practice, ask questions, and receive guidance on complex adoption and permanency cases.

    Whether you are currently working with children and families moving toward adoption or guardianship, or supporting permanency after placement, these sessions offer practical insight, reflection, and peer connection that extends well beyond self-paced learning.

    C.A.S.E. Training Institute

    C.A.S.E. National Training Institute is the culmination of more than 25 years of hands-on clinical expertise with foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Informed by the power of this experience, C.A.S.E. has become a national leader in adoption, foster and kinship competency trainings to enhance the capacity and competency of child welfare, mental health and school professionals from foundational understanding to comprehensive, clinical skills.

    NTI was funded through a cooperative agreement (#90CO1121) and (#90CO1145) between the Children’s Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, US Department of Health and Human Services, and the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.).
