KNowing there are seminars like this is comforting for me. I have friends who internationally adopted with little sense of what kind of mental health needs international adoptees have, and are now "shocked" that their daughter is exhibiting signs of mental illness at a very young age *sigh* I am going to try to point them towards some resources
