🧠 Quick Guide to Reactive Attachment Disorder: What Parents & Providers Need to Know 🧠
📚 The Child Mind Institute just released a Quick Guide to Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)—a clear, compassionate breakdown of symptoms, diagnosis criteria, and evidence-based treatment strategies. At Youth Home, RAD isn’t just something we treat—it’s our specialty. At any given time, more than half of our residents live with RAD or another attachment-related diagnosis. Here’s why families and referring providers choose us:
Why choose Youth Home for RAD treatment?
👩⚕️ Expertise you can trust — We’ve built in-depth experience helping adolescents aged 12–17 work through RAD and attachment challenges.
🏡 Specialized residential care — Our secure, trauma-informed environment is designed for teens of all genders, offering structure, stability, and safety.
🧩 Integrated, individualized treatment — We blend individual therapy, family involvement, and parenting education with proven attachment-based models.
🌱 Whole-family healing — Our approach helps teens form deep, healthy bonds—with themselves, their caregivers, and peers.
🏘️ If you’re a parent or provider working with a teen struggling to connect, heal from trauma, or overcome attachment wounds, Youth Home is the destination you’ve been looking for.
