This course is recommended for professionals who would like a broader understanding of the different types of attachment and how these can impact our behaviours, relationships and coping mechanisms as children and adults.

A sound grounding in attachment theory and research can help professionals understand children, young people and adults behaviours better, and offer insights into their experiences of difficult and stressful family relationships.
