Connect & Be Known (teen adoptees)

Adoption Support Alliance is excited to welcome UNCC PhD intern & adoptee, Lauren Benton, LPC, to our clinical team for the Spring semester.  While she is with us, Lauren will facilitate a connection group for adopted teens based on the workbook Beneath the Mask, which "features heartfelt stories written by teen and young adult adoptees who graciously shared their feelings about their own adoption journeys.  [The workbook is] filled with activities and journaling pages" that will be used to help our teen participants work through their own adoption journeys and their feelings about it.  

Group will meet twice monthly in March and April on Mondays from 4:30 pm to 6 pm.  The dates are on March 11  & 25, April 14 & 29.   We ask that, if you register your teen, he or she is able to attend all four group meeting (barring last-minute illness, of course) to create some consistency with participation and allow each session's content to build on previous groups.  

The cost for this group will be $20  per teen, which will cover the cost of the workbook for each participant.
