Details
Secure attachment relationships are the cornerstone to ensuring children thrive, develop resilience and build social and emotional wellbeing. Dr Hoehn discusses the evidence behind this, and how as a community we can help reduce risk factors and what we can do to support children to build healthy connections to help buffer the stresses in life and optimise their capacity to grow and learn.
