Infants and toddlers in the child welfare system face unimaginable challenges when they are asked, often repeatedly, to separate from the familiar or loved and "attach" to a new caregiver. Unless their process of grief and mourning is recognized and supported, they will be unable to form new, healthy relationships. This workshop will assist child welfare professionals to notice the indicators of infant and toddler mourning, and to support new caregivers in providing the environment and relationship that will allow the child to fall in love with a new caregiver.
