Attachment is formed through actions. This diagram shows how we can understand attachment by noticing actions and behavior. We can increase trust, stability, and attachment through co-regulation. Sharing how you feel builds connection. Start by talking!

Some children do not “act out” - they react to how safe they feel.

A child who clings, avoids, shuts down or seems overly independent is not trying to be difficult. They are showing you what relationships have felt like for them. When a child has not consistently felt safe, understood or reassured, their behaviour adapts to cope.

Some will stay close and worry about being left.
Some will push adults away and hide their feelings.
Some will swing between both, unsure who to trust.

What looks like behaviour is often attachment.

When adults respond with calm, consistency and understanding instead of control or punishment, children slowly learn that relationships can be safe. That is when behaviour begins to change - not before.

If we only focus on the behaviour, we miss the message. If we understand the attachment need underneath, we can actually help.

April is recognized as Second Chance Month in Michigan—a time to acknowledge the importance of redemption, growth, and new beginnings for individuals who have been impacted by the justice system. It’s an opportunity to challenge stigma, uplift stories of resilience, and advocate for access to meaningful support, employment, and community connection.

At The Healing Village, we believe that growth is always possible. We honor the courage it takes to begin again and are committed to creating a space where all individuals feel seen, supported, and valued—no matter their past. Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and move forward with dignity.

Our team stands in support of individuals seeking second chances by fostering compassion, understanding, and access to care. We recognize that healing is not linear, and having the right support system can make all the difference.

To those on a journey of starting over: you are worthy of support, growth, and belonging. We’re here with you every step of the way.

This month—and every month—we remain committed to learning, listening, and advocating for accessible, affirming mental health care for all. 🧩✨
To our incredible community, thank you for continuing to support our work and vision. Your openness and trust help us build a more inclusive, compassionate Healing Village for everyone.
