The primary motivation for putting this channel on YouTube is to help support all members of the adoption constellation those being: first/birth mothers and fathers, adoptees, foster youth, foster-adoptive-kinship-legal guardianship families as well as educating about BEST PRACTICE in Adoption today…

To those supporting and caring for the constellation: social workers, psychotherapists, doctors, teachers, and child welfare administrators and political figures. 

Welcome to my channel, I'm Jeanette Yoffe, a licensed psychotherapist helping make sense of foster care and adoption. We are interconnected, interactive, and forming interrelationships which is a lifelong process of healing! 

My goal is to provide videos that help us understand what is BEST PRACTICE in MENTAL HEALTH in ADOPTION and FOSTER CARE. 

I was raised in foster care for 6 ½ years in New York and then ADOPTED at age 7 1/2 and my work comes from my own experience of unmet mental health needs, as well as no-one understanding and acknowledging my grief and loss as a child. 

Today, I am that professional in the field, working with children, teens and adults connected by foster care and adoption in my mental health practice Yoffe Therapy:  https://yoffetherapy.com

Please subscribe to my channel and share it with others. There is a lot of information for adoptees, foster youth alumni, birth, adoptive, foster, kinship parents, and professionals as well as anyone working in the field of child welfare:
