| Notes |
This
6th Adoption Crossroad's conference will again prove to be a superb
educational conference on adoption related issues. If you are
someone whose life has been touched by adoption, or a mental health
professional whose clients have adoption related issues, you cannot
afford to miss this learning opportunity of a lifetime. There will be approximately 40 seminars, half of which are designed self-help experiences for those whose lives have been affected by adoption. The other half of the seminars are clinical in nature and are geared to increasing the knowledge of mental health professionals about adoption related issues in current practice. With presenters from Australia, Canada, Holland, New Zealand and the United States, these two days of immersion in adoption will give you new methods of dealing with these issues. |
