Barnardos Post Adoption Service are hosting a new webinar this November titled 9 – 19 Bumps in the Journey through the School Years. The journey through school years is rarely a straight and smooth road and it is often filled with many challenges for adoptive children and their parents.
This webinar is for adoptive parents of children and adolescents aged 9 – 19 years old, and aims to explore some of the challenges this age group may face as adoptees, through their time in primary and secondary school.
The webinar will look at school related issues such as: anxiety, school avoidance, friendships difficulties, academic pressures, sense of belonging, transitions and milestones. It will provide a reflective space as well as practical tips and ways of supporting you and your child through the challenges. Facilitators: Kasia Purcell and Karen McGuire
