Why Attachment Matters in Our Practice - Network Meeting

Target Audience

Anyone who works with or cares for children.

PRTL

This conference meets the post-registration training and learning requirements set by the SSSC.

Aims

Following on from the successful launch of Scottish Attachment in Action (SAIA), on Friday 11th September, we are pleased to offer the first of our network meetings, ‘Why Attachment Matters in Our Practice’.

Four members of SAIA will give brief presentations on how an understanding of attachment affects their practice directly. This will be followed by facilitated discussion groups, enabling participants to reflect on the content of the presentations and explore how attachment theory can influence and enhance their own practice.

There is a maximum of 50 delegate places available to ensure that all participants can be fully involved in the discussion, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

SAIA Membership

There will be an opportunity for delegates to become members of SAIA on the day. The cost of this is £20 and payments should be made by cash or cheque.
