At Gladney, we believe that every child deserves not only a loving family, but a community of professionals who understand their unique needs. That’s why we’re excited to share that Gladney University’s new Learning Management System (LMS) is now offering NTI  Adoption Competency Training for both child welfare professionals and mental health providers.

At the Gladney Center for Adoption, we believe that adoption is a lifelong journey—one that requires both understanding and support. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight Caitlyn Ussery, LCSW-S, a highly skilled clinician who now serves in a leadership role guiding therapy team at Gladney Counseling Services.
