*Training for Adoption Competency (TAC), a 12-month-long post-Master’s curriculum developed by the Center for Adoption Support and Education. TAC utilizes a combination of classroom instruction, discussion, and clinical consultation to equip mental health professionals to address the mental health needs and concerns of biological parents, adopted people, adoptive parents, and extended family members with multi-dimensional understanding and skill.

*The GW Graduate Certificate in LGBT Health Policy and Practice takes an applied care approach to tackling health care disparities affecting the LGBT community. The 18-credit program is designed specifically for professionals who work on the front lines with clients and patients, as well as those who work on the health care or policy side to serve the physical and mental health needs of the LGBT population.
