Group sessions with a psychologist are not about dry theories and teaching methods. This is a living space where you can finally exhale. Where you won't be judged for being tired or irritated, or lectured. Where other parents nod because they've been through this themselves. Where a psychologist doesn't give ready-made recipes, but helps you find your own answers.
Here, we discuss specific situations, not abstract cases: what to do when a child doesn't accept new rules; how to respond to aggression or isolation; where to get strength when it seems like there's none left. This is about understanding that difficulties don't mean "I'm a bad parent." That asking for help is okay. That you can be strong and feel weak at the same time.
These meetings give you what is so lacking: the feeling that you are not alone on this path. That there are people who really understand. That your experiences are important, your experience is valuable, and your efforts are already a lot.
So that more adoptive parents can get help and support, we are opening a collection for group sessions with a psychologist for adoptive parents.
This is not just money. This is the strong nerves of a mother who no longer breaks down on her child. This is a father who has learned to understand a traumatized teenager.
Let's support those who support children.
