Description
Families built through adoption, foster care, and kinship care have unique needs and challenges throughout each developmental phase of their family’s life cycle. The Seven Core Issues in Adoption and Permanency provides a theoretical framework that allows for exploration, expression, and understanding of the lifelong challenges and emotions embedded within the adoption and permanency experience. This engaging workshop will empower professionals to provide adoptive, foster and kinship parents with tools to understand the additional developmental tasks of the children they are parenting while acknowledging their struggles related to parenting a child they did not birth.
