Understanding the Connection Between Adoption & Trauma

Understanding the Connection Between Adoption and Trauma
The Evan P. Donaldson Adoption Institute estimates 100 million Americans are touched in some way by adoption. That is 1 in every 6 people. Adopted individuals and their families are more likely to utilize mental health services than the general
population. However, mental health professionals typically do not receive adoption related training. This workshop will address adoption and trauma in light of new research about how the brain develops and adapts to its environment.
Learning Objectives:
• Pennsylvania Statistics
• Understand the losses surrounding adoption
• The basics of how the brain develops with neglect/trauma
Attachement
• The 7 core issues of adoption
• Interventions to share with adoptive families in helping their children
• Understanding blocked care and secondary family trauma

The human brain will never be fully understood… each case is completely different from another.
