Raising Resilient Rascals III

Julia Bledsoe, Julian Davies, Gwen Lewis, Deborah Gray, Maureen Evans...and more

About the workshop

Back for our third year. This year the adoption/foster care focus will be on our rascals as they continue to grow up. The day will be packed with loads of useful information and tips. We will discuss current mental health issues, practical tips for dealing with executive dysfunction, trans-racial adoption and we'll end the day with a panel of adult adoptees. There will be plenty of time for your questions and we'll have an open microphone during lunch. Lunch will be provided.

This year we only have 1 day, but we'll make the most of it.
