Upcoming Webinars
Supporting Sibling Relationships in Adoption: Nurturing All Your Children
01/09/2025 at 10:00 am Pacific Time (PT)
Dr. Jana Hunsley from Project 1025, will present Supporting Sibling Relationships in Adoption: Nurturing all your children.
Many caregivers ask the question, “what about my other children?,” when it comes to how adoption affects their families. In this class, we will deepen our understanding of the needs of children already in the home through discussing research evidence specifically on this family role. Plus, we will learn new, effective communication and connection strategies that not only meet the needs of resident children but also meet the needs of the whole family. Caregivers will be equipped with proven strategies that have led to decreased stress and increased satisfaction and connection in adoptive families. *If you cannot attend live, the recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants.
Dr. Jana Hunsley is a psychologist who offers consulting, training, coaching, and counseling for families and professionals involved in foster care and adoption. Jana is also the co-founder of Camp Together, a nonprofit offering therapeutic family camps for families impacted by trauma. Jana received her doctorate in experimental psychology from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University where her research focused on understanding and meeting the needs of every member of adoptive and foster families through post-adoption supportive services. Over the years, Jana has worked in various clinical settings as a therapist with children and youth who have experienced trauma, including residential treatment, institutional care, schools, child welfare, and juvenile detention. Jana credits her passion for this work to her siblings who were adopted when she was a teenager.
