Beyond the Behavior: Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder and Responding with Connection, Structure, and Regulation

Reactive Attachment Disorder can leave caregivers and professionals feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure of how to respond. This webinar will help participants better understand how early relational disruption and trauma may affect trust, regulation, behavior, and connection. Participants will explore common patterns associated with RAD and learn practical ways to respond with structure, consistency, co-regulation, clear boundaries, and relationship repair. The session will also address the importance of avoiding labels, working collaboratively with treatment providers, and recognizing when additional mental-health support may be needed.
