What is A-ABC?
Adolescence, Attachment and Building Connection uses the ideas and influences of experts in attachment, brain development and trauma to explore this stage of development and the specific challenges that we may face in parenting teenagers. This advanced-level therapeutic reparenting programme demonstrates how many of the brain changes that occur during adolescence mean that teenagers lose some of their previous skills and abilities, and introduces the implications of this within a history of attachment and developmental trauma.

What is A-ABC?
Adolescence, Attachment and Building Connection uses the ideas and influences of experts in attachment, brain development and trauma to explore this stage of development and the specific challenges that we may face in parenting teenagers. This advanced-level therapeutic reparenting programme demonstrates how many of the brain changes that occur during adolescence mean that teenagers lose some of their previous skills and abilities, and introduces the implications of this within a history of attachment and developmental trauma.
How to apply:
If you are a social worker and would like to refer a parent/carer on to our A-ABC programme, please fill out our referral form. If you are an adoptive parent or special guardian, your place might be funded through your Local Authority or Regional Adoption Agency. Please make contact with your social worker, who will be able to advise further. We recommend doing this well in advance of the funding deadline, as it can take some time to secure funding. Please feel free to ask your social worker to contact us for further information too. We will be happy to help. If you intend to self-fund, please make contact with training@gateway-psychology. Our training team will talk through the next steps and get you booked in.
