SUMMARY:Virtual Support Group: Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul (Tuesdays or Thursdays)
DESCRIPTION:This 6-week virtual support group inspired by the book Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul by Dorcas Cheng-Tozun is for highly sensitive people (HSPs) who wish to connect with others who care deeply about the world and are seeking ways to sustainably engage in activism. \nConversations will reflect themes from the book to explore how sensitivity can shape the way we experience injustice\, conflict\, burnout\, empathy\, and advocacy.

Empowering ways to engage in activism that feel aligned\, viable\, and authentic will be explored. This group will offer a safe place for compassionate self-discovery and connective reflection with others who feel deeply but don’t want to lose themselves in the process of contributing to the larger world. \nThis virtual group is open to individuals 18+ who reside in the United States.

SUMMARY:Webinar: From Struggles To Strengths: Reframing The Seven Core Issues In Adoption
DESCRIPTION:A webinar for NY psychologists seeking continuing education credits\, hosted by Hudson Valley Professional Development. The seven core issues in adoption are often perceived as barriers to an adoptee’s ability to be healthy and successful. But what if we viewed these issues – loss\, rejection\, guilt/shame\, grief\, identity\, intimacy\, and control – on a spectrum that ranges from struggle to strength? Join Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker as she guides you into the extraordinary and often overlooked world of adoptee strengths and superpowers. Learn to support your adoptee clients’ natural tendencies\, embrace their unique methods for problem-solving and navigating relationships\, and empower them to feel proud of the remarkable ways in which they contribute to the world.

DESCRIPTION:A training for adoption and child welfare professionals\, hosted by Foster Adopt Minnesota. Navigating the complexities of biological relationships can be a sensitive and challenging process for many adoptees.
