Young adults in America are facing a significant mental health crisis. This webinar examines how attachment theory can inform treatment processes. We’ll explore how the empirically supported Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) model can be adapted for young adult clients, to address underlying relational trauma contributing to mental health symptoms.

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Discuss modifications to ABFT when working with the young adult population
• Describe the impact of attachment ruptures on mental health and overall functioning
• Identify the five Tasks of ABFT
