Scripture and science are clear: children need families to thrive. Around the world, we are seeing a global movement of programs transitioning their services from residential to family-based solutions. Residential care providers in transition need support and guidance, yet there is a lack of coaches with adequate training and experience to support programs in every nation and language.
That’s where the Care Transition Accelerator Academy comes in.
The CTAA is a highly-competitive, first-of-its-kind training program for leaders in care reform.
During the two-year hybrid learning program, CTAA Fellows receive instruction from world-class experts on:
- Global guidance in care reform
- Program foundations needed before transition
- Assessing program readiness to transition
- Principles of coaching
- Awareness raising & fundraising
- Staff training & leadership development
- Identifying & training families
- Preventing separation
…and so much more!
Program graduates will be certified as Transition Coaches, enabling them to walk alongside programs in their region that are in the process of transitioning from residential to family care.
