ATTACH™ (Attachment and Child Health) is an education program based on successful research.

All of the ATTACH™ programs are tailored towards improving Reflective Function, and have been adapted from our highly successful ATTACH ™ Parenting Program.

Our mission is to support and promote positive mental health at the population level.

Read more about our programs below, and how Reflective Function can benefit those who take our programs.

ATTACH™ is different from other programs in that it teaches a skill called Reflective Function.

Certified ATTACH™ facilitators assist participants on how to reflect on their own and others’ thoughts and feelings.

ATTACH™ Parenting Program is our flagship program, with many of our other programs adapted from it. It helps parents develop Reflective Function — the ability to understand their own thoughts and feelings, as well as their child's. By encouraging curiosity, reflection, and keeping their child's mind in mind, parents become better equipped to respond to their children's needs with calmness, even under stress. Research shows that ATTACH™ strengthens parents' reflective functioning and parenting capabilities, leading to improved parenting quality, healthier child development, and better mental health outcomes for children. Ultimately, the program aims to promote secure parent-child attachment, strengthen families, reduce risk, and help the next generation thrive.

We are currently pilot testing our newest program — ATTACH™ For Youth.

Adapted from the ATTACH™ Parenting Program, this program works with young people between the ages of 11-17 years old understand their own and other people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviour through building Reflective Function, with the goal of improving mental health and building resilience.

ATTACH™ For Teachers — Under Development

We are working with educators to develop and evaluate ATTACH™ For Teachers, which aims to understand the challenges teachers and students face in diverse educational settings. By partnering with educators, we seek effective, relationship-focused strategies to enhance classroom well-being.
