The focus of most pre- and post-adoption support programs is on the adopted child and, more specifically, the potential realities of complex developmental trauma. At their best, services offer strategies for improving behavior by building a secure parent-child relationship and healing from early stressful environments.

Or the chaotic family environment the whole family is experiencing? This webinar offers a more realistic depiction of families’ needs and a more effective solution to successfully supporting adoptive families.
