Introducing... A Community Just for You!

Feel Welcomed & Supported

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 the 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.

Quotes

"As a therapist who has been practicing for the past 20 years and as a 'training junkie' I was eager to have an opportunity to go deeper into my development as a therapist. The DTAI is precisely the experience and the community that I was seeking. My fellow community members are 'in this with me' so I don't feel alone in the kind of work that can feel, at times, isolating. I feel as though I have 'come home' professionally."

Alexis Greeves MA, LPCC

Registered Play Therapist and Supervisor, Certified Theraplay Therapist & Trainer

"The Developmental Trauma and Attachment Institute is a weekly space I very much look forward to. It stimulates me intellectually, grounds my nervous system after several days of caring for clients, and it helps me put words to my experiences as a therapist - experiences I didn’t know I needed help putting words too! I often have 'aha' moments that feel so incredibly validating. I highly recommend this Institute for all who seek meaningful, lasting growth."

Lauren Hufnagel, LCSW

Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice Asheville, NC

"Becoming a part of the Developmental Trauma and Attachment Institute is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and my company. I expected to find a place for continued education and curated content from one of the most skilled and respected professionals and organizations in my profession. What I found was a leader and team committed to my development as a professional and person and a community of learning and practice with peers as invested and determined as I am to be the absolute best they can be for those they work with."
