The International Attachment Network
"Attachment theory has changed how we understand human development, relationships, and mental health. But understanding is only the beginning, application is where lives are transformed. That's what IAN has been doing for over 30 years, and what we'll continue doing for generations to come. We invite you to be part of this vital work."
We envision a world where
-
working with children, families, and vulnerable populations understands and applies attachment principles
-
is informed by attachment research, creating systems that truly support healthy development
-
prioritise relationship-based approaches that promote secure attachment
-
have access to attachment-informed resources and support
-
to deepen our understanding while remaining grounded in practical application
