Treating a child in isolation doesn’t work. Without addressing trauma with both the child and caregiver system your efforts will fail to reach their greatest therapeutic effectiveness.

Co-developed by Dr. Margaret Blaustein, ARC (Attachment, Regulation and Competency) is a flexible framework proven to enhance effective trauma treatment by intervening with both the child and the caregiver system; allowing you to foster the supportive environment necessary for healthy development and lasting change.

THIS COURSE IS YOUR CHANCE TO LEARN THE ARC FRAMEWORK FROM DR. BLAUSTEIN HERSELF!

Watch and discover what over 300 agencies and child-serving systems already know. ARC gives you a roadmap to cultivate attachment in traumatized kids, build the self-regulatory skills they need to identify and manage powerful emotions, and establish a positive sense of identity that will set the stage for a healthy and fulfilling adult life.

This offer may not come your way again! Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to transform your treatment of childhood trauma and achieve sustainable positive outcomes for this most vulnerable population
