Curriculum Components Tailored to Families
Welcome to that National Training & Development Curriculum (NTDC). This curriculum is designed to help foster, kinship and adoptive families prepare for their parenting journey with a child who has experienced trauma, separation and loss. NTDC also offers families ongoing skill development through the Right-Time Training – training when you need it. To learn more about NTDC and its mission click here.
