Making a Difference
Georgia
- The State of Georgia saw a need
to stop the high rate of disrupted adoptions by getting help for
the traumatized children. An amazing woman named Laurie Anderson
saw the need and presented it to the powers that be.
The
State paid to have 20 therapists attend the year long training
to become Attachment Therapists and help the children. They will
soon have more Attachment Therapists to solve the problem! Also,
the Horizon Institute organized a statewide training for social
workers by video satellite. Nancy was honored to be invited to
teach for both of these programs. THEY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN GEORGIA!
Hawaii - The
Family Courts of Hawaii closed their doors while the Judges, Deputy
Attorneys General, and Social Workers attended a two-day training
on Attachment Disorder. These dedicated professionals clearly
demonstrated
their commitment to helping the island children that have been
wounded by abuse, neglect and separation from caregivers. We were
honored to be a part of this event with these GREAT PEOPLE!
Utah
- Legislators in Utah are meeting with parents and professionals
to learn more about Attachment Disorder and Attachment Therapy.
They are considering a law to see that Attachment Therapy is regulated
to avoid having improperly trained therapists working with Utah's
children. A great idea!
Some
of the dedicated Utah State legislators that care a lot about
parents' rights are: Senator Parley Hellewell (R ), Senator Chris
Buttars (R )and Representative Jim Ferrin (R ). These great folks
are leading the way so our children can get the help they need
and we get the right to choose!
We hope other states will follow these leaders!
