The National Center for Enhanced Post-Adoption Support services for statestribal nationsterritories
The National Center for Enhanced Post-Adoption Support provides universal and on-site technical assistance and a comprehensive resource library to support states, tribal nations, and territories as they develop, implement and sustain comprehensive, culturally responsive, and accessible post-permanency services.
What We Stand for
Funded by the United States Department of Health & Human Services, Administration for Children & Families, Children’s Bureau in October 2023, the newly launched National Center for Enhanced Post-Adoption Support provides access to various resources that will enable states, tribal nations and territories to provide practical, culturally responsive services to families that have achieved permanency through adoption or guardianship. The Post-Adoption Center represents an important way that the Children’s Bureau provides technical assistance to states, tribal nations and territories.
Services provided by the Post-Adoption Center are free of charge, collaborative and driven by justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
The Post-Adoption Center will partner with the three other Centers (the Center for Workforce Equity and Leadership, the National Center for Adoption Competent Mental Health Services, and the National Center for Diligent Recruitment) established by the Children’s Bureau to offer comprehensive technical assistance to states, tribal nations and territories. These centers are key components of the Children’s Bureau’s commitment to helping child welfare systems enhance safety, permanency, and well-being for children and families.
