The Hidden Legacy: How Parents' Attachment Histories Shape Their Children's Lives
This track’s presenters are experts in trauma-informed and attachment-focused interventions and strategies for counselors and therapists that truly help children impacted by developmental trauma. These workshops provide an opportunity to explore new ideas and tools you could bring into your practice. Counselors and Therapists can also view other tracks and will have 30 days to watch recordings after the conference. We know you’ll be inspired by the professional workshops in the other tracks as well: Parenting/Caregiving, Youth Justice, Education, and Communities
