“Getting on the Right PATH: Promoting Attachment and Trauma Healing” July 28, 2020

PATH (Promoting Attachment and Trauma Healing) is a comprehensive framework of education that supports caregivers who are parenting children with known trauma effects and/or attachment difficulties. The overall goals of this framework are to increase understanding; to build and strengthen skills; and to grow emotional resiliency of parents/caregivers as they create healthy attachments and teach self-regulation to their children, many of whom have come to their families through foster care, kinship placement, or adoption. Presenters will tie the tenets to specific examples in their families’ lives or in experiences of the children and families of the attachment, as well as the developmental neuroscience and trauma-informed strategies that support this work.
