Adoption Competency Training (ACT) is a program designed to help adoption and foster families by providing trauma-informed support. It gives mental health and behavioral professionals practical tools, techniques, and strategies to help these families navigate the unique challenges they may face. ACT is based on proven methods to ensure families get the best support possible.

ACT is for adoptive and foster children, teens, and families.

• Your family, child, adolescent, or teen is in foster care, in the process of becoming adopted, or has been adopted.

• Your family, child, adolescent, or teen is struggling to adjust to their new environment and family dynamic.

• Your family, child, adolescent, or teen is experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or behavioral concerns.
