An Afternoon with Katie Naftzger 

Please join us for our ninth annual Adoption Education Forum: An Afternoon with Katie Naftzger, LICSW. The event is titled The Intersection of Adoption and Teenhood: Strategies and Insights. If you are an adoptive parent, educator, therapist or physician, do not miss this!

Katie Naftzger will lead attendees through the teen years with a wisdom born of her extensive research, her years as a therapist for adopted teens and their families, and her own lived experience as a person who was adopted from Korea.  It's a powerful combination!  The result is that she is able to provide insights and suggestions that are not only well informed but also very useful in a practical day to day way.  She is the author of Parenting in the Eye of the Storm: The Adoptive Parents Guide to Navigating the Teen Years.  

Attendees will learn strategies for "unrescuing" adopted teens, setting adoption-sensitive limits, having connected conversations, and helping teens envision their future.
