ATTACH™ Parenting Program
The ATTACH™ Parenting Program helps parents develop their Reflective Function skills, which is 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.
