Post adoption depression
Post-adoption depression (PAD) is more common than realised, but is often difficult for parents to discuss. Without support, PAD can lead to long-term challenges for both the parent and child. Sharing emotional struggles can be difficult for anyone. But for adoptive parents there are additional concerns. Some parents may feel that talking to a social worker could risk the adoption placement. Others, may feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the adoption process altogether. In this session, we will be joined by Dr Lynn Snow who’ll be sharing her research into PAD, and recommendations in post-adoption support for agencies, social workers, and local authorities.
