Attachment Foundations: Building Secure Bonds in Adoption and Foster Care (for Parents)


Description

Building secure attachments with children who have experienced separation, trauma, or loss can be challenging, but deeply rewarding. This webinar offers adoptive, foster, and kinship caregivers, as well as the professionals who support them, a practical and compassionate understanding of how early life experiences shape attachment, behavior, and relationships. The speaker will share evidence-based strategies to build felt safety, repair bonds, and strengthen connections over time, with a focus on supporting children struggling with attachment. The session also explores caregiver attachment styles and how self-awareness of these patterns can help parents strengthen bonds with their children. Participants will leave with actionable tools to foster secure, trusting connections at any stage of placement.
