INTRODUCING...

A New Community Just for You!

Supporting children and families who have experienced great loss and endured extreme trauma is a daunting task. Helpers often fall prey to vicarious trauma and burn-out, and too many give up this specialization or leave the field entirely. As a result, many of the children and families with the most complex needs are paired with the least experienced helpers. At Chaddock, we have the experience and longevity to understand the type of support needed to keep the best and brightest engaged with this work.

The Developmental Trauma and Attachment Institute is for helpers who seek to be rejuvenated and revitalized in their work with children and families. This type of renewal and confidence is a natural by-product of gaining specialized knowledge, advanced skills, consultation, guidance, mentorship, and most importantly being in a community providing the experience of being seen and understood. Yet, who has time and resources to seek out all of that? No one. That’s why we have designed an experience and a soft place to land where all of these needs will be met in one central place. 

WEEK 1:

SETTING THE STAGE

Each month there will be select readings and other resources pertaining to that month’s webinar. Pre-webinar learning has been scientifically proven to increase your engagement and retention of webinar information provided later in the month. 

WEEK 2:

IN THE TRENCHES: GROUP CASE CONSULTATION

Institute members will have an opportunity to present cases they are feeling really stumped about. Karen Doyle Buckwalter, along with experienced Chaddock staff, will be part of this process. Be prepared to discover wisdom you couldn’t have found alone for your most vexing clinical challenges. 

WEEK 3:

A DEEPER DIVE WEBINARS

Live, interactive, engaging and practical 1-hour webinars where we will dive deeper into the topic of the month. Oh, and consider yourself covered for the majority of your CEUs since as an Institute member you can earn 12 CEUs* each year.

Once upon a time, fire led our ancestors into the circle. It made sense to put the fire in the center and to gather around it. A circle defined physical space by creating a rim with a common sense of sustenance lighting up the center.

FEEL WELCOMED & SUPPORTED

"We understand how overwhelming and stressful working with developmental trauma and attachment issues can be. We honor the commitment you have made to this, at times heartbreaking, work. We also know that you can’t walk this path alone without sacrificing aspects of yourself — and it shouldn’t be that way. You are the reason we have created this one-of-a-kind Institute. We want to bring you the same type of incredible support and teamwork we have benefitted from at Chaddock over the years. The kind of support that is better for you, better for those you love, and better for your clients."
