Training & Education

The Adoption Council of Ontario provides specialized training and education for all those touched by adoption and permanency journeys, and the professionals who support them. There is a framework for understanding adoption and permanency journeys and all those living these journeys can benefit from this knowledge.

From a professional perspective, adoption and permanency work is a specialty field and those working with adoption and permanency galaxy members need specialized training to understand the unique dynamics involved and best support their clients.
