This workshop has been developed by IAC Center Counselors who have extensive experience working with adoption life cycle issues. According to esteemed Psychologist and author, Irvin Yalom, PhD, “the teen years are a time of tremendous change unmatched any other period of child development.” Extensive research shows the years between eight and 16 are particularly challenging for adoptees as they fully cognate adoption and develop their personal identity. Our workshops will provide tweens and teens and their parents a chance to touch base and learn some coping methods and positive ways to communicate at home.
During the teen workshop, parents are invited to participate in a discussion group with an IAC Center Counselor in a separate office suite so that privacy can be enjoyed by all! Separate breakout groups will be provided for “tweens” and teens and we plan to form separate groups for middle and high school age groups.
Sample a variety of activities or spend your time enjoying the one you like best.
