This training is delivered by a specialist clinician (Clinical Psychologist) from the Looked After and Adopted children’s team in CAMHS (although this training is relevant for all children or young people who have experienced disrupted attachment for any reason) and gives an overview of attachment theory and the importance of early intervention and mentalization as a way of moving towards attachment security and improving relationships for these young people.
