Workshop #7 & 10: The Current Crisis of Well-Being in Our Children and Youth: An Attachment-Based Developmental Perspective | PRESENTED BY Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.

What’s happening to our kids? The alarming rise in anxiety, depression and attention problems, begs for an explanation. How is it that, in this time of relative prosperity, with children being more educated than ever, with knowledge now at our fingertips, children and adolescents are becoming increasingly more troubled? How is it that, in an age when kids are finally being seen and heard, when parenting is more child-centered than ever, when schools are finally prioritizing the well-being of students, their suffering is increasing? We have never had more mental health professionals, more advocacy and literacy around mental health, or more mental health services available to us. What are we missing here?! Do we just need to try harder with what we are doing, or do we need to rethink the problem and change our approach?

In this seminar, Dr. Neufeld will unravel this alarming epidemic, tracing the symptoms back to their roots in attachment and development. Only when we understand how troubles evolve can we even begin to hope to address their roots, whether it is individually or societally. We have largely been battling against symptoms with little insight to guide us. The battle has been earnest but nevertheless futile in stemming the tide of unwellness. Never has a fresh new approach to mental health been more needed.

  • To make sense of how the pandemic affected the mental health of children and youth
  • To appreciate how unrecognized attachment disorders are predisposing to mental health problems
  • To understand why advocating for self-care for children and youth can be counterproductive
  • To become equipped with developmental interventions for the prevention and reversal of mental health problems
