SUMMARY:“Reactive Attachment Disorder/RAD”
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW[/butt \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. \nThe G.E.A.R.
