Building on Dr. Putnum's approach to attachment I think, how can we build community that will wraparound those in need and foster belonging. It is the idea of Attachment to Belonging. The National Wraparound Initiative out of Washington State has all kinds of information based on research. Wraparound has principles that honors the strengths and resources of the individual, family and community knowing that it takes all of us to build resiliency. Also in Washington they have a model for Community Capacity Development a public health approach to solving interrelated problems by improving people's connections, their shared responsibility , skills and efficacy. This was created in response to the ACE Study.
Good Luck!
Thank You!!!
I will check all this information out.
Yes, the video is awesome!!!! Dr. Putnam is an absolute hero in his work. In my humble opinion, it should be watched by those treating patients with High ACE scores - like 10, 15, 20 plus ACEs, multiple times, until the information is deep in one’s soul. These folks do have a different phenotype. I see their kids everyday, 18 month olds with 8 ACEs, homelessness, child welfare, parents who cannot read, a family member who just died of suicide or an Opioid overdose. It’s these families I’m working to reach as they are the most vulnerable to re-victimization and social isolation.
Relationships heal and I’m trying to figure out, how we can make it safe in our community for parents to feel safe in relationship in order to heal.
