GBCe is an amazing resource for parents at all stages Ce is amazing. Professional practical and able to be very personal. Even though I'm parent of an adult, the insights and perspective and sense of shared perspective have been very worthwhile. I've learned stuff I would have used decades ago, but I've been able to make it inform my relationship with my now adult child who is now herself a parent. I bring lessons learned about self-regulation, about therapeutic parenting, about being there with love first before you try to do any 'work', So very very valuable.

GBChange is possible This is where you will get the support and help you need on your foster or adoptive journey. It's been life changing and life saving for our family. There's work involved, and lasting change takes time, so start now. We are three years in with working with the Love Matters Parenting Society and The Attach Place and we have experienced so much growth and healing and HOPE.

GBThe Attach Place The Attach Place, along with the Love Matters Parenting Society, has saved our family from imploding. When no other program worked, we found desperately needed support (after many years of searching) at The Attach Place. With lots of guidance, we have learned how to navigate the ups and downs of raising children from difficult beginnings in a loving and therapeutic way. The community support that has been built here is priceless! We have used The Attach Place for neurofeedback, parent coaching, mindfulness, and theraplay...all wonderful experiences. Our family is healing and thriving. We have been with The Attach Place since 2018.

GBEvery adoptive parent should be here Every adoptive parent should be here! Clearly this is a place where people understand me and my children, they know what we’re walking through, and they have so much wisdom and love to share. Before we joined, we were stressed and having daily battles. Now we understand where our kids are coming from and we have the skills to help them through it rather than battling against them. And attachment has grown so much in the process!

GBFrom overwhelm to peace The Attach Place and Loves Matters Parenting Society support and therapeutic parenting class has been life changing. I was struggling as a grandparent who has become the guardian of my granddaughter. We lost her mom to drugs and then suicide in 2020. It was devastating for both of us and we spiraled down to a point where I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep caring for her. Just months before I joined my granddaughter who was 9, was in and out of the hospital, on several kinds of medication with no effect, and I was having to call the police because of extreme aggression or threats of harm to self and others. My friend had recently started the Love Matters Parenting Society and shared the link. Desperate for any kind of support I signed up and from the moment of hearing that first video intro song I knew this was something, there was a glimmer of hope. I went all in watching the videos, joining the Facebook group, and then coming to the weekly zoom groups. Things started getting better as I focused on connection before correction and built our relationship back. I have to say that with the amazing guidance, support from the groups and the therapeutic parenting material there is no more extreme aggression, destruction, or hopelessness. We are on our way. Has it been or is it now easy? No. But it’s worth it and it is a more effective and long term solution.
