Why are the NTDC, the NTI and CORE Teen essential tools to improve well-being and family stability?

These trainings share the vision to address effectively the mental health needs of children, youth and their families who are moving toward or already have achieved permanency through reunification, adoption, guardianship or kinship. Taken together, these trainings improve collaboration between families who are fostering and adopting, child welfare professionals and mental health professionals. This collaboration provides a powerful vehicle for achieving system change and better outcomes for children, youth and families.
