Beth Rutkowski, Clinical Psychologist, works with a child at the Gladney Center.
In partnership with Gladney Center for Adoption, Dr. Mai Xiong and seven members of the LIH Olivia’s Place Shanghai team visited and re-assessed a group of children who are hoping to find a “forever home.” The clinical team had an intensive day of updating clinical files for twenty-five children and were rewarded with smiles, laugher, and curiosity all round.
All staff at LIH Olivia’s Place are committed to providing access to high quality therapy for all children in China and we were delighted to partner with Dr. Mai and Gladney to provide much needed support for these young people. The Gladney Center for Adoption was founded in 1994 and since then has matched almost 1000 children with families in the United States.
