Honouring Our Roots
The ATTACH™ Program was created in 2014 by Dr. Nicole Letourneau and Dr. Martha Hart. During its pilot and evaluation phases, partner agencies were instrumental in delivering the program to at-risk families, ensuring research was conducted in a meaningful way. We appreciate the dedication that these agencies had in the development and success of the ATTACH™ Program.
