GLADNEY UNIVERSITY

 

The purpose of Gladney University is to equip clients and professionals with the knowledge they need to help provide positive and healthy outcomes for the children we serve. Gladney University provides adoptive parents with education and support before, during and after their adoption. This education and support helps Gladney provide the finest adoption experience possible and it’s part of Gladney’s promise of family for life.

Gladney University equips medical professionals, counselors, social service advocates, and community members with cutting-edge continuing education through engaging, web-based, and in-person adoption and child welfare training. Our goal is to offer a diverse range of required and elective courses, helping child welfare professionals meet state requirements and expand their expertise, ultimately improving outcomes for those they serve.

Gladney is uniquely positioned to provide outstanding training to parents and professionals because of our over 135 year history of serving families and children. Our staff is highly qualified, experienced and compassionate. This combination creates dynamic and very successful training programs.
