About

Each family faces unique challenges that can feel isolating, especially if your family isn’t considered a “traditional” one. If you are a child or teen in foster care, if you’re adopted, or you’re being raised by a relative or single parent, you are not alone. Feeling abandoned, rejected, experiencing grief, loss, guilt and shame are some of the difficulties you may encounter. These feelings are often combined with anxiety, lack of attachment, behavioral issues, depression, emotional dysregulation, or incomplete identity development. Without support, any one of these may feel overwhelming.
