The Attachment Research Community is a charitable organisation set up in 2017. The ARC was founded by Virtual Heads because they saw how attachment aware approaches made a difference for children in schools.
The Attachment Research Community
The ARC is a membership community designed to help and support schools and settings to become attachment aware and develop best practice. Children learn through attachment relationships. Sadly, trauma and unmet attachment needs adversely affect many children in our schools. Attachment aware schools’ have put this understanding at the heart of their work and have developed creative and effective responses to meeting everyone’s core mental health and wellbeing needs.
The ARC provides a space for professionals to plan and share their learning and best practice through our suite of online tools and regional and national events, including our annual conference.
