Services to the Professional Community & Professional Training
 The Ametz Training Institute for Professionals
The Ametz Adoption Program/JCCA has provided domestic and international private adoption services for more than 25 years. As part of this work, there is an emphasis on meeting the needs of clients in the communities in which they live. To do so effectively, Ametz strongly believes that an educated professional community is necessary. Drawing on the best adoption minds in the New York area, we proudly present the Institute’s 6th year offerings geared for those working with adoptive families and families-to-be. Each session includes a didactic presentation and time for interactive discussion.
