The Secure Family Project

The Secure Family Project provides research-informed education for parents and caregivers of children affected by neglect, attachment disruptions, trauma, foster care, adoption, and other difficult early experiences.

Through short educational videos, we explore how early experiences can affect child development, attachment, emotional regulation, the nervous system, behavior, learning, and a child's sense of safety.

Our goal is to help caregivers move beyond asking, “How do I stop this behavior?” and begin asking, “What might this behavior tell me about what this child needs?”

The Secure Family Project was created by James “Jamie” Carroll, MA, LCPC, LPC, RPT-S, a licensed mental health professional and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor.

Free lessons and caregiver resources are available at The Secure Family Project.

Understand. Connect. Support. Hope.
