Adoption SF serves children who come from a variety of challenging backgrounds. Our training sessions give you insight into the complexities of early trauma as well as new ways of helping children heal and thrive.

The 20-hour training consists of three 9am-3pm Saturday sessions and one 6-8pm evening session.
