X-WR-CALDESC:The Trauma of Relinquishment - Adoption\, Addiction & Beyond -
  Zara Phillips in conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté.\n\nWe are pleased to b
 e partnering with the OLLIE Foundation in the UK to present this special o
 nline event. Zara Phillips is an author\, singer-songwriter\, and adoption
  advocate. Zara will be discussing the trauma of relinquishment and the im
 pact on addiction issues with Dr. Gabor Maté.\n\nAdoptees and children who
  are fostered are over-represented in the prison system\, addiction clinic
 s and are 4 times more likely than their peers to attempt suicide. This ta
 lk will consider why that would be and what\, if anything we can do about 
 it.\n\nFor many\, when we talk about adoption\, we talk about placing chil
 dren in need\, into loving homes to parents that want them. The assumption
  behind these conversations is that love will overcome all challenges and 
 obstacles. What we don’t talk about\, or rarely\,  is that the adoption in
  the new home comes about because another home has ended\, or perhaps not 
 even begun.  We forget that all adoption is formed from loss. Love is esse
 ntial but it is not enough. Gabor Maté and Zara Phillips will discuss what
  it means to carry the trauma of being relinquished. How adoption is not a
  one-time event but has a lifelong impact. They will consider how unresolv
 ed trauma can lead to addiction and suicidal thinking and what if anything
  an adoptee (and those that support them) can do to heal and recover.  \n
 \nThis talk will also help inform best practices for those working in adop
 tion and fostering and those who offer mental health services for adoptees
  to help inform best practices. This presentation will be of interest to a
 nyone with lived experience of and/or working in the fields of relinquishm
 ent\, trauma\, addiction\, recovery\, adoption\, and child welfare. A dona
 tion of approximately $15 (£10) to The OLLIE Foundation is required to reg
 ister\, however\, no one will be turned away due to the inability to donat
 e.\n\nInterested in sharing this event with your friends and colleagues? D
