Join Us for an Inspiring Fireside Chat: Supporting Indian Adoptive Families: Insights and Navigations
Discover more about the journey of adoption specifically for the Indian Community through an engaging and insightful fireside chat designed for adoptive families, prospective parents and anyone within the Indian community interested in understanding adoption better. Creating or adding to your family through adoption is benefited by understanding and learning about adoption dynamics, how in-utero and post birth trauma and life conditions can influence the adoptee and how the interplay of these dynamics can show up for your child and your family. All extended family members are most welcome to come along.
We are excited to have the following facilitators for this event
Prerna Harini Vaswani and her husband are adoptive parents to their young daughter born in India. Their adoption process was captured in the book A Gift From Above by Shobha Nihalani. Additional Info Here
Diva Chugnani is an award-winning college lecturer and wellness specialist who integrates mind and body connection in her counseling and yoga therapy practice. She specializes in movement and art therapy, focusing on the emotional and mental well-being of children.
Sanam Thakur will be our host for the evening. Sanam is the founder and lead coach at the re:think, specializing in coaching and development during life transitions. She combines her personal journey of growth and transition from eating disorder recovery to loss of a parent with professional strategies and tools to empower individuals to reshape their life direction.
Together, they will share their insights, experiences, and guidance to help attendees feel more informed and empowered on their adoption journey.
