Greetings!
This newsletter is mostly aimed at respite providers and others who work with, and care for, children with RAD, but the information is great for everyone!

The more knowledge we have, the more we know about trauma, brain function, and attachment, the better we can help the children and families that we love and support.

I have put together a few of my very favourite online training courses. I love sharing the great resources I find, so be sure to check them out!

Enjoy!

With love, Karen
