Virginia Families: Teen/Tween Middle School Identity IN PERSON Workshop

Adolescence is a tumultuous time; being adopted adds another layer of complexity. The Northern Post-Adoption Consortium (NPAC) is pleased to offer a FREE in-person workshop for middle school-aged teens and tweens who were adopted or are in kinGAP or state-funded kinship subsidy families. Teens and tweens will focus on connecting with other youth in similar families, promoting identification as an adoptee or child in a kinship family, providing a safe space to share feelings and thoughts about their life stories and experiences and supporting their exploration of identity. Come ready to share experiences and eat some snacks with new friends!

Registration is limited and will close Monday, 11/24/25, at 11:59 pm.
