Fear to Love Level 1 + 2

Practitioner Certification

Transform the way you support families with the first certification of Its kind specifically for adoption and foster care trauma healing.

You Entered This Field to Change Lives…

But It’s Harder Than You Ever Imagined.

As a social worker, therapist, case manager, adoption agency staff member, or family support specialist, you are on the front lines of adoption and foster care. You witness both the beauty of families coming together and the heartbreak of trauma, attachment struggles, and disrupted adoptions.

You pour your heart into helping children and parents, but:

The emotional weight of your work is exhausting. Compassion fatigue and secondary trauma are real, and they take a toll.

Families expect you to have all the answers. When they struggle, they look to you for solutions—sometimes even blame you when things go wrong.

You feel trapped between policy and reality. You want to give families more, but limited resources and systemic barriers hold you back.

Watching families struggle post-adoption is heartbreaking. When placements break down, you wonder if you could have done more.

You feel isolated in your work. Who do you turn to when the work you love feels like too much to carry?

You are not alone. And you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
