Ethics of Infant Adoption: A Closer Look

Ethics of Infant Adoption: A Closer Look

The world of domestic infant adoption is filled with grey areas and ethical considerations. This presentation focuses on some of those “sticky situations” as providers you might have already dealt with or are likely to do so in the future. We might not have ALL answers to these complicated questions but asking the right questions and having conversations is the first step in addressing the unique gray areas of adoption.

Organizational Trauma Training

Organizational Trauma Training

A trauma-informed approach is critical to creating safety and healing. We understand the complex and lasting impacts of trauma on the communities we serve and the impact of vicarious trauma on ourselves as helping professionals. We are committed to helping organizations create a trauma-informed model that recognizes and respects the impact of trauma at all levels.
