Staff Training for Practitioners

The Connect for Staff program focuses on the building blocks of attachment security that specifically relates to attachment, trauma, and professional care of children and adolescents. The program is beneficial for all care providers working with youth who would like to learn how to apply the principles of the Connect program in their work. Care providers acquire knowledge about how attachment needs are expressed differently across development and why attachment security is important to healthy child and teen development.
