Attachment: Why It Matters Workshop!

Join us all year long for Empowered to Connect workshops, every 4th Wednesday of the month!  These workshops are video-driven, and facilitated by an adoption professional from Bethany Christian Services. This month we will present Attachment: Why It Matters, Part 1 Wednesday, February 24, 2016 7:30 - 8:45 PM Willow Creek Community Church 67 E. Algonquin Road, So. Barrington, IL 60010 Room: Guest Central (off the main lobby)   This video explores the critical role of attachment in a child’s development. Most of us think of attachment as a loving bond between parent and child. But what happens if a child doesn’t receive nurturing, consistent care from a loving parent early in life? Can a parent love a child or a child love a parent, but still not feel securely connected? And what are the consequences of insecure attachments? In this video, adoptive parents share their struggles and successes in pursuit of these answers and experts will share fascinating and encouraging research that reveals how secure attachments can help counter the effects of early trauma. ***Registration for this event is not required.
