What we're actually asking for
Thirty
seconds
of honesty.

Who this is for
You've
lived the
fallout.
- Parents at the edgeThe ones told to be more consistent by people who have never met the child at 11 p.m.
- Foster & adoptive familiesPlacement history, disrupted bonds, and the paperwork that never told the whole story.
- Clinicians & counselorsAnyone separating attachment trauma from the ADHD, ODD, and ASD labels it keeps getting filed under.
- Teachers & IEP teamsBehavior plans handed to students who needed an attachment plan.
- Adults who were that childThe ones who recognised their own childhood in a chapter and had to put the book down.
