Mental Health and the Adoption Community:Serving the Needs of The Adoption Kinship Network
Angela Gee, LMFT
Adoption is a family building event that has a lifelong impact on each member of the Adoption Kinship Network (including but not limited to birth/first family, adoptive family and foster/adoptee). There are distinct developmental, neurobiological, psychological and social/cultural/ environmental implications for this population that mental health clinicians may face. Child and adolescent adoptees, those in foster care or alumni are recipients of mental health services at a significantly higher percentage than the general population. The intention of this presentation is to contextualize clinical approaches through an adoption lens and to share appropriate therapeutic interventions to meet those needs from a strength-based, culturally competent framework.
After you register you will be emailed a Zoom link the Thursday before the presentation.
