Guiding Teens to a Stronger Sense of Self

Adoptive teens face unique challenges when it comes to identity, and those struggles can sometimes be misdiagnosed as social anxiety. While both issues involve self-consciousness, fear of judgment, and social withdrawal, it’s crucial to understand how identity confusion can often look like social anxiety—leading to incorrect diagnoses and missed opportunities for healing in adopted and foster children. iCARE4 Adoptive And Foster Families supports holistic and comprehensive assessments for accurate diagnosis and effective support.
