ATTACH™ is a parent educational program based on successful research.
We promote secure attachment between parents and children by teaching parents the skill of mentalizing. This skill helps parents to be reliably available to meet their children’s needs.
Our mission is to support families and promote children’s health and mental development
Through mentalization and reflective function, we seek to:
- Educate parents to reflect on their own and child’s perspective.
- Strengthen parents’ capabilities.
- Improve and help children’s mental health and development.
- Reduce the number of at-risk families.
- Help society raise the next generation of healthier children.
What makes ATTACH™ different?
- ATTACH™ is different from other parenting programs in that it teaches parents a skill—reflective function. Parents who have this skill promote secure attachment with their infants.
- ATTACH™ facilitators are trained to help parents to reflect on their own and others’ (especially their children’s) thoughts, feelings and mental states.
- Data have shown to improve parenting quality and child development without having to teach parents anything about parenting or child development or child milestones.
