The Social Workers in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Special Interest Group invites you to attend our special one day conference on Attachment. Social Workers in CAMHS work on complex cases and work with young people to promote and maintain their positive mental health. The ability to work in and with the whole context or situation is an important distinguishing characteristic of Social Work practice. An essential part of this work is having a deep understanding of Attachment Theory and how it impacts on the families they work with. We are holding this conference to give social workers the opportunity to develop further their understanding of attachment and to gain ideas for future practice.
