Infant Adoption Training Initiative
The Infant Adoption Training Initiative is a nationwide unified curriculum developed through a grant awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services. Developed under the Infant Adoption Training Initiative model established by Spaulding for Children, the program provides training that augments public health employees’ knowledge by providing them with the skills necessary to sensitively present adoption as an option. All persons employed by public or private, non-profit health care facilities that provide physical, not mental, health care services to pregnant women and teens are eligible for the free training. Catholic Charities partners with Child & Family Services of New Bedford to provide these services. For further information regarding free training session types and schedules or to register, please refer to http://www.iaatp.com.
