Take CHANCES for Kids: Part I Training

About the Program: Take CHANCES for Kids Part 1 is a three-day curriculum designed to teach providers about serving families affected by Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The concept behind this program is that providers need to take CHANCES to help children with attachment issues. Treating attachment issues is difficult in part because successful treatment of children diagnosed with RAD involves the entire family. The goal of the CHANCES training is to equip providers with tools that empower them to better understand what it takes for a child to attach in a family.

Training Objectives: As a participant of this training, you can expect to take away knowledge and treatment strategies that you'll be able to put into practice immediately.

You'll learn about:

Attachment Theory, the Attachment Cycle, and Emotional Regulation
Assessment and Intervention Techniques for Families affected by RAD
Coordinating Attachment and Permanency (CAP) Curriculum

Cost & Continuing Education Hours: The training is offered at no cost to participants, thanks to funding from the Indiana Department of Child Services. Additionally, participants will also be served lunch onsite at the training facility, free of charge. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) grants successful completers of this training 20 Approved Social Work Continuing Education Hours (CEHs).
