The Adopted Child: Self-Esteem and Related School Issues (Free)

Sponsored by: APC - Adoptive Parents Committee

Guest Speaker: Dr. Michael Stango

The adopted child and teen often face challenges in the school environment that are specifically related to adoption.  Among the greatest challenges are issues of self-esteem and identity.  These issues can interfere with the child’s school performance as well as their social network.  Let’s discuss these issues and other related school issues with clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Stango who specializes in working with children and adolescents, families, parents and adults.  Dr. Stango has been in private practice for over 20 years and is licensed in N.J. and N.Y.
