Perspectives on Challenged Family Building

Promoting Healthy Attachments Through A Full Spectrum of Services

At the Attachment and Bonding Center (ABC) of Ohio, we place particular emphasis on fostering the connection between adopted children and their parents. By addressing early life issues - the early life experiences that interfered with normal developmental processes, we help the children let go of their anger, resentment, and fear. With this release comes the freedom to experience closeness and trust with others - resulting in a greater likelihood that they will attach to their adoptive families. To achieve this end, we provide a variety of services tailored to the specific issues of children with attachment difficulties, as well as programs for those whose lives are intertwined with theirs.

ABC of Ohio's work is in compliance with the recommendations of the Report of the APSAC Task Force on Attachment Therapy, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Attachment Problems. ABC of Ohio is also in compliance with the ODJFS rules which became effective July 1, 2008.

Working Together to Strengthen the Bonds

As children with attachment issues progress through their lives, their paths cross those of family members, social workers, therapists, teachers, physicians, and other professionals. At ABC of Ohio, we believe it is critically important to educate all segments of society on the behavioral problems particular to these children. Early identification and treatment can make a significant difference in their lives...and ultimately in the lives of all those they touch. For this reason, ABC of Ohio will accept referrals from either family members or community professionals. A phone call will initiate theintake process.
