Maria Amelia Bueschlen
Areas Maria Amelia Bueschlen is Knowledgeable in:
I specialize in the complex field of adoption and foster care, a realm that hits close to home as I am an international adoptee who has personally traversed the path from orphanage life to foster care and ultimately, a loving adoptive family overseas. This journey has not only shaped my perspective but also ignited my passion for supporting and empowering fellow adoptees.
I've been actively engaged within the adoption community, co-hosting support groups and participating in panels where I openly share my experiences and insights.
My early exposure to the challenges faced with mental illness was through accompanying my father, a social worker, working with those battling addiction in rehabilitation centers. This has provided me with a unique understanding of the intricate interplay of mental health when I was very young.
As an adoptee, I've always been driven to explore the profound effects of being born into poverty and subsequently embraced into a new family. My specialization lies in unraveling the intricate dynamics of identity crises, depression, and the fundamental sense of belonging, all of which can be profoundly impacted by one's journey as a displaced person.
My extensive personal experiences, combined with my commitment to the field, position me as a unique and dedicated researcher with a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding displacement, adoption, and foster care. My work aims to shed light on the intricate relationships between these experiences and mental health, paving the way for innovative and impactful solutions.

Techniques Maria Amelia Bueschlen Uses:
Here are my personal most important problem-solving techniques:
First of all, the most underrated skills a researcher and problem solver can have, are the ones I use daily. These are the following: Thinking outside the box, creative and design thinking, critical thinking, and truth-seeking.
1. Empathy and Relatability: I leverage my own life experiences, including adoption, immigration, and gender-based abuse, to empathize and relate to individuals facing challenging situations, enabling a deeper understanding of their issues.
2. Cultural Awareness: My experiences as a biracial individual and TCK have heightened my awareness of cultural and religious narratives that can impact one's sense of identity and belonging, allowing me to address these issues more effectively.
3. Identifying Apathy and Resilience: I recognize the detrimental effects of apathy and understand that individuals facing challenging circumstances often reach a crossroads where they must choose to do the work on themselves and start healing. My focus is on guiding them toward the path of resilience and personal growth.
4. Research and Initiatives: I emphasize research and initiatives aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by displaced and traumatized individuals, with the ultimate goal of empowering them to emerge stronger and more resilient from their trials.
Here are some frameworks I use:
1. Define the Problem: Start with a clear understanding of the problem I am trying to solve.
2. Gather Information: Collect relevant data and facts to inform my decision-making.
3. Analyzing the Problem: Break down the problem, identify patterns, and understand its root causes.
4. Look for or create solutions.
5. Test them, get feedback and reevaluate.
6. Improve and apply.

Maria Amelia Bueschlen's Problem Solving Experience:
- Our visionary solution aims to empower adopted individuals and those who've experienced displacement profoundly. We strive to foster belonging and purpose in lives marked by adoption, foster care, refuge, immigration, and adversities.
Mission: We're passionate about addressing the challenges these individuals face, guiding them toward empowerment, personal growth, and authentic belonging.
Problem: Adopted individuals and those displaced grapple with identity crises and emotional turmoil, feeling adrift in an ever-changing world. Their past experiences can be a source of deep-rooted trauma and confusion.

We empower individuals on their journey to self-discovery and personal growth, ensuring they find their true place in the world. - Imagine a transformative solution, a roadmap to personal success where individuals embark on an exciting journey to discover their true place in the world. It all begins with introspection, delving into the pivotal question: Who truly holds the keys to their destiny? Guided by powerful tools, they embark on an exhilarating quest of self-discovery, inching closer to understanding their core identity and aspirations. It's an adventure of personal growth, empowerment, and fulfillment, a beacon of hope to call home in the vast landscape of dreams and ambitions.
- The idea is to uncover new theories about mental health impacts on displaced people.
I am currently engaged in research aimed at addressing psychological issues, with a particular focus on apathy in displaced people.
Many researchers and mental health professionals predominantly center their efforts on depression and the intricate aspects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to aid patients in regaining control of their lives. And to find purpose and fulfillment.
However, I have observed that our collective efforts may prove futile if we overlook the broad spectrum of apathy, identity concerns, metacognition, and the fundamental sense of belonging. Exploring these dimensions is pivotal to achieving a more holistic understanding of psychological well-being and advancing effective interventions for those in need.
