Why attachment?

Attachment is relevant “from the cradle to the grave.”

  • ✽

    Loneliness is at epidemic levels especially among young people who are forming their first relationships in a fragmented, screen-mediated world

  • ✽

    Mental health systems are overwhelmed, but most treatments don't address the root: how we learned to connect (or disconnect) in our earliest relationships

  • ✽

    Intergenerational cycles of trauma continue because we're not equipping parents, teachers, and caregivers with the understanding to break them

Why donate?

Donations help us train therapists, support caregivers, and spread attachment understanding.

  • ✽

    Your donation trains a therapist who will help hundreds of people understand their relationship struggles

  • ✽

    Your donation puts attachment resources in the hands of parents, teachers and carers who are desperate to break cycles they experienced as children

  • ✽

    Your donation helps us reach the generation forming attachments right now before patterns harden

Make a Donation

We're living through a crisis of disconnection. Political polarisation, technology overload, economic stress, climate anxiety, all of it undermines our ability to feel safe with each other. Attachment theory is the roadmap back to each other. It's how we interrupt cycles of hurt. It's how we raise children who can trust. It's how we heal relationships we thought were broken beyond repair. Every pound you give helps someone understand that their struggles aren't personal failures they're patterns that can change.
