Project Description:

The Permanency and Adoption Competency Certificate (PACC) was developed in response to community demand to meet the need for increasing the availability and competency of a professional workforce able to work across systems to serve the unique and complex clinical and practice needs for adopted individuals and their families. The goal of the PACC is to increase the number of qualified permanency and adoption mental health and child welfare professionals in the state who are able to work in collaborative and multicultural contexts. The PACC includes the nationally-recognized Training in Adoption Competency (TAC) developed by the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.), as well as three additional modules on child welfare policy and process and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) developed by CASCW.
