Description: The focus of this session is on understanding and fostering relational health, felt safety, and attachment in children with attachment injuries. Trainers highlight those changes in a child’s attachments can only occur within the context of a safe relationship. It is important for caregivers to understand both their child’s attachment style and their own, as well as the attachment style of any co-parents. This understanding can explain why certain behaviors may trigger reactions in parents and why some children may respond differently to each caregiver. Trainers need to be well-versed in attachment styles and how to explain them effectively. Robyn Gobbel (https://robyngobbel.com) offers excellent resources on attachment and felt safety.

**This qualifies for Group Credit through HHS (like in-person classes)
