“I have engaged Voce representatives on multiple opportunities to provide workshops on race equity and trauma to a variety of audiences. Their presentations are consistently based on thorough research and are delivered in an innovative manner."

Voce and Pennsylvania Child Advocate Maryann McEvoy hosted more than 100 child-serving professionals at today’s inaugural Forum on Pennsylvania’s Children (FPaC), an event focused on healing childhood trauma.

The inaugural Forum on Pennsylvania’s Children (FPaC) is a first step in an ongoing campaign to challenge public and private sector thought leaders to understand the deep effects of childhood trauma and collaborate to create a safer and more equitable Pennsylvania for children.

Imagine a room filled with dedicated and passionate individuals exchanging ideas and forming partnerships to bring about hope and healing for children and families who have been impacted by trauma. This is the experience Voce aspires to create through the first Forum on Pennsylvania’s Children (FPaC), which will be held on November 10, 2022 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Training for Adoption Competency impacted me, both professionally and personally, in numerous ways. I was initially drawn to the accredited program because as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I wanted to serve families with the best clinical practice possible. Imagine my surprise when it really hit home for my most important job, being a mom of two siblings adopted from the Pennsylvania foster care system.

Adoption professionals have long recognized the need for a comprehensive, multi-layered continuum of support to ensure stability and well-being for children who have been adopted and their families. Now, an online learning community from our colleagues at Identity has launched to provide accessible, diverse, and ethical education to adoptive families.
