CCA November 2024 Training & Annual Meeting

On November 20, 2024 the Connecticut Council on Adoption held their annual meeting and training at Casa Mia on the Hill. The training, Empowering Transracial Adoptive Families: Tackling Racism in the Media, was presented by Mary Harris Miller, LCSW. This training addressed the challenges that youth and families encounter in transracial adoption that can arise from exposure to pervasive racist behaviors, xenophobic statements and microaggressions that we see and hear daily in the news and other public media.

CCA wishes to thank Mary Harris Miller for a wonderful training and discussion, our fantastic CCA membership, and Co-Sponsors, CT DCF and UConn Health Adoption Assistance Program for making the training possible!
