SUMMARY:Webinar: "Open v Closed Adoptions\, and how a Post Adoption Contract Agreement works
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative session led by Christina E. Campbell\, a Georgia adoption attorney on the key differences between Open vs. Closed Adoption and how Post-Adoption Contact Agreements work in our state.

SUMMARY:Common Ground: A Resiliency Group for Parents and Teens- Digital Resilience: Navigating Social Media\, Mood & Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:This is a space where teens and caregivers come together to listen\, learn\, and grow. Here\, every voice matters. We believe in sharing without judgment\, respecting different perspectives\, and finding connection through conversation. Let’s make this a place of empathy\, honesty\, and mutual support. \nPlease Note: Both parent and Teen will need to have a way to join the meeting as we will do a breakout group \nThis month’s topic is: “Digital Resilience: Navigating Social Media\, Mood & Well-Being” \nDiscussion: \nScreens are a big part of teen life — and family life. This session goes beyond “less screen time” to talk honestly about how social media affects mood\, identity\, and relationships. Teens and caregivers will explore strategies for healthier digital habits\, balance\, and emotional resilience in a tech-filled world. \nFacilitated by: Janae Roberts
