Adoption Throughout the Lifespan: Beyond Adoption Day 
Presented by Jaclyn Skalnik, LCSW, Adoption Wellness

Details: March 14, 2024 (10am - 2:30pm, including a 30-minute lunch break)
*Up to 4 CE credits will be issued to those attending this virtual opportunity.

Description: This workshop offers a balance between clinical identifiers of pathology and every day impacts of how foster care and/or adoption impacts an individual. During our time together, we will take a deeper dive into developmental markers and identify how familial separation, multiple placements, trauma, abuse, neglect, and loss can lead to attachment and relationship challenges. We hope you join us as we share creative options for care, treatment, and support.
