During these exceptional times where seeing our families isn’t a possibility for everyone, the 15th of May marks the International Day of Families. As an organisation, we’d like to point you to some research on the importance of attachment and positive relationships, and on the ability of families to serve as a mental health intervention, as well as to some timely tips for practitioners to help parents manage their child’s challenging behaviour during homeschooling and the lockdown.
