X-WR-CALDESC:*Please note this event is from 8:00-9:30 PM ET.*\n\nAdoption 
 and Suicidality: Adopted people are four times more likely to attempt suic
 ide than their non-adopted peers. Join the contributors to a new book\, Ad
 option and Suicidality\, in a discussion about how adoption impacts adopte
 es' mental health\, and how we can all help prevent suicide. The panel\, m
 oderated by adoptive mom Beth Syverson\, will consist of adoptees who have
  survived suicide attempts or chronic suicidality and parents whose child 
 struggled with suicidality.  \n\nAbout Beth\nBeth Syverson is an adoptive 
 mom\, wife\, musician\, and as of 2021 a podcaster\, activist\, and public
  speaker. Since 2019\, her son Joey has struggled with addiction to substa
 nces plus serious mental health issues. For the first year of that roller 
 coaster ride\, she and Joey were both derailed. Beth tried to “fix” Joey\,
  and her Supermom cape was tied on tight. But when nothing worked to “fix”
  him\, she sought help for herself\, which improved her own life and also 
 her relationship to her wife Jan and to Joey. She and Joey created Safe Ho
 me Podcast in August 2021\, with the purpose of helping other families avo
 id some of the pain they've experienced. \n\nBeth adopted Joey from Japan 
 when he was 7-1/2 months old.  She now realizes that his relinquishment tr
 auma is one of the core issues that causes him to seek substances. Beth is
  a leader for other adoptive parents who are coming “out of the fog” and r
 ealizing that the adoption that created their family also created trauma f
 or their child. In September 2022\, she created a free support group for a
 doptive parents called APtitude\, and in August 2023\, she became a certif
 ied coach through the Virginia Satir Global Network so she can help more a
 doptive parents and others who are struggling.
