Adoptees Connect Tulsa

 The National Center for Adoption Competent Mental Health Services aims to improve mental health outcomes for children and families impacted by child welfare by providing technical assistance that bridges the gap between child welfare and mental health systems. The National Center prioritizes the need for specialized mental health services for children and families who have experienced the child welfare system. We have seen a positive impact when mental health professionals have the skills, knowledge, and strategies to meet the complex needs of our most vulnerable youth. Leveraging this expertise, we can now build bridges between child welfare and mental health systems and enhance the workforce’s capacity nationally. We hope to address the mental health crisis plaguing our nation and ensure accessible and evidenced-informed mental health services that meets the needs of all children and families. The National Center will build on and expand the impact and momentum of our work leading the National Adoption Competency Mental Health Training Initiative (NTI) since 2014 training child welfare and mental health providers.
