	Description:	Recent figures show 513,000 children were in foster care in the United States and as many as 5.4 million children living with grandparents. In this program we explore the issues of foster care and parental alternatives from a number of viewpoints, with a special emphasis on understanding attachment theory and trauma, which are both the backdrops and main features in work with this population. Most children do not remain in foster care forever. To aid these high-risk, fragile situations, Dr. Richard Kagan has developed tools practitioners can use to provide a coordinated effort to rebuild family ties and change cycles of crisis.
