Update the Adoption and Foster Care Therapist Network Directory
The Coalition believes that the long-term stability and happiness of New York State’s most vulnerable children depends on a sufficient supply of well-trained and supported caregivers who have the ability to connect with adoption and foster care competent clinicians who can help address any emotional and behavioral issues.
As a program of the Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York,  the Adoption & Foster Care Therapist Network (AFCTN) seeks to enhance the ability of individuals impacted by adoption, kinship and foster care to have access to mental health professionals who have a clinical expertise in adoption, foster care, trauma, and/or attachment issues. It seeks to achieve its mission by promoting clinical training opportunities for mental health professionals and to have an accessible list of adoption competent mental health professionals to facilitate access to mental health professionals for individuals seeking mental health services.
Add Your Services to the AFCTN Directory
We are seeking mental health clinicians and providers who identify themselves as having experience, training, and specialization in working with foster, kinship, and adoptive families to add a description of their offered services to Adoption and Foster Care Therapist Network directory. Â
There is no charge for listing your services in the directory in order to provide current and helpful information for New York State Adoptive and Foster families in need. The Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York allows AFCTN members to self-identify themselves as having adoption/foster care competent clinical training and experience working with adoption and foster families. The AFCTN is limited to mental health professionals in New York state. If you have more than one physical location, please fill out a separate form for each address. Â
If you are interested, please complete and submit the online form below with your contact information and a description of your services to be posted on the Coalition website.Â
To update a current listing, please use the same form as directed.
You will also receive an invitation to the Closed AFCTN Support, Resources, and Information Network Space in the AFFCNY.Network.
When completed, click the SUBMIT button. If you do not land on a new confirmation page, please scroll over the form again and check the areas marked in red and submit again.Â
