New Jersey Adoption Resource Clearing House

This session explores the fundamentals of adopting older children and teens by answering common questions and offering guidance to support the adoption journey. Adopting older children brings both unique opportunities and considerations. Older children and teens joining families through adoption carry with them a range of life experiences, often including histories of trauma, multiple placements and transitions, and other factors that can shape their emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. This webinar will provide an introduction to the needs of adopted teens and offer recommendations for promoting long-term success and stability in the adoptive home.

This FREE live webinar is sponsored by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and will provide 1.5 CE credits for social workers. For social workers licensed in the state of New York, it will provide 1.5 contact hours.

Registration is open until the webinar begins. To participate in this webinar, attendees must have the Zoom application downloaded to their device.
