Social workers are involved in foster care and adoption more than any other profession, emphasizing their need to understand parents who are impacted by a child who has RAD. Understanding the experiences of parents who have children with RAD could provide insights into best practices on how to assist them.

Learning Objectives:

Articulate the state of current literature on parents’ and caregivers’ experiences caring for children with Reactive Attachment Disorder diagnoses.
Identify three or more substantive themes in the literature surrounding parents' and caregivers' experiences caring for children with RAD.
Identify three or more current gaps in the literature surrounding parents' and caregivers' experiences caring for children with RAD.
