Parents of Adopted Teens Support group (PATS) is a resource for parents whose adopted children are teenagers or preteens. Each meeting features a short presentation about a featured monthly topic by the hosts or a a guest speaker, including a practical tool or technique that parents can try at home. Most of the time is spent in group discussion of both the monthly topic and current challenges.
Attendance is free for members. Non-members are invited to try out the group once to see if it is a good fit and will be asked to join AFFGS for future participation. For more information about AFFGS and annual membership ($40/yr, scholarships available), visit our website.
