Bethany’s ADOPTS program helps children overcome the trauma that has occurred in their lives. The program focuses on increasing the child’s capacity to form healthy attachments to others, understanding how trauma has affected their lives, developing healthy expression and regulation of emotions, and building personal strengths.

Program Eligibility
Children need to:
  • Be between the ages of 8 and 17
  • Be in an adoptive placement or in foster care and moving toward an adoption plan.
  • Have had one or more traumatic experiences (i.e. physical abuse, sexual abuse, chronic neglect, parental substance abuse, domestic violence, or traumatic losses).
Children who meet these criteria will be eligible for an ADOPTS trauma assessment interview. For more questions and answers about the ADOPTS program click here.
