We've created a peer group to help adoptees navigate the many emotions of being adopted. Led by a counselor, social worker and peer support specialist, these groups are intended to be fun, safe and therapeutic. YANA (You Are Not Alone) is available to kids ages 8-15.
Our theme this year is Emotional Regulation and we are focusing on anxiety, anger, loss and other emotions surrounding adoption. Every group there is an emotional check-in, lesson of the day, game or activity, debriefing the lesson, and mindfulness activity. Parents are given information about what is discussed and some conversation starters so that communication can continue at home.
