One of the most valuable things adoptive parents take away from our parent groups is the simple, yet comforting knowledge that “they are not alone.” After coming out of our parent groups, adoptive parents have said things like, “It was nice to be with other families going through the same thing.”

As an adoptive parent, our parent group offers you:
  • A holistic understanding of trauma and its effects on your child
  • Practical ways to develop in your child healthy expressions of emotions and thoughts
  • Effective ways to increase your child’s capacity to develop healthy attachments
  • Strategies for building on the strengths of your child

Because your adoptive child is in his/her group during the same time, he or she is learning the same material, just from a more developmentally appropriate level.
