Virtual Psychoeducational Support Group: Seven Core Issues in Adoption

Join us from 7 p.m. – 8:15 p.m. Central Time every Tuesday from Sept. 30 to Nov. 4 (six weeks) for a virtual psychoeducational support group moderated by moderated by Nina Friedman, LCSW, The Cradle’s Director of Post Adoption Support. For adult adoptees people over the age of 21, this group will address the Seven Core Issues in Adoption as identified by Silverstein and Kaplan:

• Loss
• Rejection
• Guilt/Shame
• Grief
• Identity
• Intimacy
• Mastery/Control

Understanding these core issues, and how they impact your life, can be validating. Participants can expect to talk about their experiences, hear other people’s stories, struggles and joys, give and receive support, and better understand the lasting effects of the adoption experience.
