Developmental Trauma & Attachment Institute

Q: When can I watch live events?

With the exception of the first Thursday, live events will take place every Thursday from 11 am - 12 pm CST. We also understand that you have a busy schedule. You can attend events on-demand 24/7 in the Institute Learning Hub.

Q: How will case consultations be handled?

Case consultations will be held one time per month. Cases will be presented by Institute members who schedule a time to present. The good news is that many people have expressed to us that they learn just as much being part of case consultation on someone else’s case as they do when they present their own.

Q: Will I be able to observe some of the amazing supervision and consultation that goes on inside Chaddock in addition to Institute consults?

Periodically, our Institute members will be part of the in-depth supervision and consultation that has led to Chaddock becoming renowned worldwide.

Q: I am not a licensed mental health professional or therapist, but I have a professional role in supporting children and families impacted by attachment and trauma issues. Can I be part of the Institute?

Please reach out to us to discuss your situation. We recognize there is an urgent need for helpers, other than therapists, who understand attachment and trauma issues.

"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."
