A One-day course

Attachment theory is centred on the emotional bonds between people and suggests that our earliest attachments can leave a lasting mark on our lives. This course takes a further step to understanding the attachment process and how it can affect individual development. It also allows participants to explore their own attachment styles and how this can impact on relationships.

Aims:

• The different ‘styles’ of attachment which develop
• The impact of attachment styles on brain development and its impact upon mental health, relationships / responses
• Recognise the impact of stress on the developing brain
• The impact of trauma and abuse when dealing with a child with attachment difficulties
• Consider a range of strategies to help manage children with attachment difficulties
• Reflect upon your own attachment styles in your current parenting of children
