GBOur family was blessed to be introduced… Our family was blessed to be introduced to The Attach Place as a means to addressing the mental health issues due to the COVID crisis. Having absolutely no therapeutic resources (in the entire five years since I had adopted my two girls), I jumped at the opportunity. It has been hands down the best decision for our family. I did have previous suggestions from other resources for how to get my kids in line (as if this was the goal), my own experience as a child, and what I saw mirrored from families who do not have children from difficult beginnings. None of those examples worked for us, which left me feeling alone and fearful of the future. Our situation wasn’t getting better, only worse. After some time in Theraplay, and completing work in the Love Matters Parenting Society resources, I have a success story almost weekly. I see change in how we communicate, and I am on way to parenting the way I always hoped I could - with some compassion, patience, and as a model of security and stability that my children crave. I am most thankful for the graciousness of the staff, and the parents in LMP support group. The mottos of #bettertogether and No Blame, No Shame help to create a safe place to learn, heal, and grow as a family.
