Parenting Adopted Teens: Mindfulness and Yoga

Sammy Chadwick, adoptive mother and yoga instructor guides through a conversation about connectedness and mindfulness while introducing basic yoga techniques.

Our group promotes open discussions with panelists or guests who join each month. We encourage open-ness and always give time for adoptive parents to discuss the topics in the group setting. Mentors who work with the kids participate in discussions and share their experience as adoptees and as mentors within the program. This group is facilitated by Jessica M. Luciere, one of the founding mentors of the Spence Chapin Mentorship program, and an international and transracial adoptee and Mark Lacava, LCSW-R the Chief Officer at Spence- Chapin’s Pre & Post Adoption Services.
