Marcella Moslow, LCSW, RPT, is a trauma therapist and a transracially adopted person born in Columbia. Adoptee activism doesn’t always have to be through large scale practices or platforms, it can take the form of becoming educated and advocating for adoptees who face disparities when it comes to receiving care, whether it be from schools, clinics, medical providers, therapists and more. Historically, there has been a lack of quality care available for adoptees and those impacted by the experience of adoption. In this session, Marcella discusses the role of activism in bridging the gaps in understanding about the unique needs of adopted people. Marcella will share insight on ways adoptees, birth/first families, adoptive families, professionals and those wishing to be allies can work toward/advocate for quality/more informed care that will promote more comprehensive healing.
