Get Involved
Do Your Part, However, Whenever, Wherever You Are.
Yes, we have a long way to go toward a better understanding of developmental trauma/reactive attachment disorder, and mental health overall, in society.
But it is very possible when we all work together.
Take part from your corner of the world. Get creative and inspired by moms like Caela and Laura and professionals like Sateash (pictured). Together, we're stronger. We are all RAD advocates.
Join Us.
Our vision is that, one day, more children with developmental trauma/reactive attachment disorder will remain in the home with the healthy families that raise them — in which every family member is physically and emotionally safe at all times. Together, we can make our vision a reality through education and advocacy.
Because it just makes sense.
It’s extremely difficult, even dangerous at times, for parents — whether adoptive, biological, step-parent, or otherwise — to parent a child with developmental trauma disorder/reactive attachment disorder (RAD).
RAD Advocates exists to bridge the gap between parents and professionals.
When we do not protect these families as a society, we perpetuate the disorder, harm all children in the home, and feed the broken child welfare system.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Let’s defend families, not the disorder.
Let’s support the critical job of parents. Let’s keep everyone in the home safe and well. When we do, we give kids with the disorder a better chance to stay in their families.
It just makes sense.
