Project Description:
This is a partnership between the PSU Graduate School of Social Work, PSU Continuing Education, the Oregon Post Adoption Resource Center (ORPARC) and the State of Oregon Department of Human Services to provide post-graduate education for mental health professionals in the specialized theories and practices for treating adopted children who have histories of abuse and neglect, for strengthening their family systems, and for enhancing parental and children's resiliencies. Mental health professionals will be able to extrapolate new skills to work with other nontraditional families, such as blended, kinship, and foster families.
