Discover how an attachment-focused lens can strengthen your clinical practice.

This session introduces social workers to the practical value of using an attachment focused lens in clinical practice. Attachment theory offers a compassionate and non judgmental way to understand client behaviour, build stronger therapeutic relationships, and guide effective treatment. Participants will learn how different attachment categories shape view of self, emotional regulation, expectations of relationships, and view of social reality, and how working through an attachment lens benefits both the clinician and the client.
