SUMMARY:Reactive Attachment Disorder/RAD
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW[/butt \nRobert is an adoptive parent of two special needs children (now adults). Dr. Walker has almost forty years of experience training and supporting parents and professionals in the areas of adoption\, foster care\, and attachment related trauma. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology\, and a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. His Ph.D. work focused on communication\, attachment\, and emotion in biological and non-biological family systems. His dissertation research examined the effects of dysregulated children on their biological and non-biological families and their family environments.  \nJoin us for this special Children’s Mental Health Action Week event\, where Dr. Walker will discuss the implications of making a home for an Attachment Disordered child. He will discuss the effects of such a placement on the environment of the family and the implications of RAD on the parenting methods that must be employed in an effort to help the child overcome the effects of their early life trauma.  Dr. Walker believes that by increasing your understanding of the true nature of the deficits caused by early life trauma\, parents can more easily address those needs and by doing so\, improve the climate within their families.  Questions from the audience will be answered at the end of his presentation. \nThe G.E.A.R. Parent Network\, a program of Kennebec Behavioral Health\, is the place where Gaining Empowerment Allows Results.  G.E.A.R.is run by parents for parents providing services for parents of children with emotional and behavioral health concerns. \nThrough parent-to-parent sharing of experiences and knowledge\, G.E.A.R. Parent Network empowers parents of children with behavioral health needs to build on their family’s strengths and to advocate for their family’s needs. \nFollow the link to register to join us for this no-cost educational session: https://kbhmaine-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/y_awil_DRy-9rORn88bssw
