High School Teen Identity Group: In-Person!

Calling all high school (grades 9-12) teen adoptees! Please plan to join us for a one-day IN-PERSON gathering to talk about adoption, identity, and adolescence! Adolescence is hard enough; being adopted adds just one more layer of complexity. This group will provide a safe space for teens to meet, chat, share their thoughts and feelings, and eat some pizza and other snacks.

The group will meet for one afternoon/evening on Saturday, March 22nd, at 2:00 pm, at the C.A.S.E. Annandale office.

Registration is limited and will close March 19th.
