Family & Carers Hub
The Families & Carers Hub is a dedicated space on our website where parents, teachers, foster carers, and other caregivers can access information and resources to help them build secure attachments with children. It supports caregivers in understanding attachment theory and applying practical strategies that promote healthy emotional development and strong, trusting relationships.
Purpose
The hub's core purpose is to equip caregivers with the knowledge and tools to foster secure attachments helping children feel safe, understood, and valued, which is the foundation for their healthy development and future relationships.
“Although the possibility of emotional trauma is ever present, so, too, is the possibility of forming bonds of deep emotional attunement within which devastating emotional pain can be held, rendered more tolerable, and, one hopes, eventually integrated. Our existential kinship-in-the-same-darkness is the condition for the possibility both of the
profound contexuality of emotional trauma and of the mutative power of human understanding.”
