“Covid-19: Collective Experiences as a Gateway to Deeper Understanding of Adoption, Foster Care, and Family”
With so many elements of our lives shifting and changing due to Covid-19, we have a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of and relationship to adoption, foster care, and family. Through a rich and very personal lens, nationally recognized thought leader and transracially-adopted person, April Dinwoodie, will candidly explore how our current shared experience of trauma, lack of power and control, hypervigilance, loss, and family separation can be a gateway to even more empathy, enlightenment, and love. In this presentation we will explore the themes that are presenting for all of us as a collective and make the connection to how they are connected to the experiences of those within the extended family of adoption and foster care.
About April Dinwoodie
After a successful career in corporate marketing, branding, and PR and a lifetime as a transracially adopted person, April is devoted to elevating our collective experiences of family and working together to build stronger relationships. Dinwoodie’s podcast Born in June, Raised in April: What Adoption Can Teach the World! helps facilitate an open dialogue about identity, family, and differences of race, class, and culture. A strategic marketer at the core and with her lived experience as a guide, April delivers keynotes, facilitates workshops, and offers one-on-one coaching. She is the former Chief Executive of the Donaldson Adoption Institute and the founder of AdoptMent, a mentoring program that matches foster youth with adopted adults.
Today, some of April’s work includes communications consulting services on federal grants supporting adoption education and regular contributions to the Chronicle of Social Change and Fostering Families Today. She also works with several NY City schools facilitating adoption support groups for young people and parents and offers opportunities for faculty development.
