Resilience Panel 14th December 2018
We believe that improving the existing understanding of and attitudes towards attachment is essential for improving Ireland’s profile in terms of emotional health and in understanding socially destructive behaviors. We believe that a greater understanding of attachment theory can help to promote social cohesion and better outcomes in terms of physical and emotional health.
We believe in supporting parents and families through providing access to knowledge, training and expertise in attachment for professionals. We believe that understanding and supporting positive attachments during all stages of development will deepen our awareness of how physical and emotional health interact and will enhance and help to underpin social policy planning and health strategies that will help individuals and families.
To this end we aim to inform government and non-governmental agencies of the benefits of attachment theory as a fundamental theoretical base for social policy. We aim to help government and non-governmental agencies gain a greater awareness of attachment in the context of their work and in terms of policy and planning.
Attachment is the basis for all early relationships. It is what shapes, forms and influences who we are and how we are with others. It is where we hurt and heal and learn how to manage. Human relationships across society are also the foundations for positive growth and wellbeing; those we have with our parents, children and partners.
IAIA seeks to help support individuals and organisations to gain a greater understanding of this ‘Attachment World’ so as to make positive contributions to our families, work places and the communities we live in. Creating a greater awareness of the importance of relationship is one of our key objectives in IAIA.
We are committed to promoting more positive experiences of attachment to enhance our relationships between parents and children, within families and in society generally. We believe that improving the existing understanding of and attitudes towards attachment is essential for influencing the positive development of Ireland’s child and adult health and well-being.
We are committed to promoting better experiences of attachment in the Irish population in order to effect positive changes in policy and practice in education, care and health. We believe that it is important that our way of working is both connected and collaborative, reflecting the vision and values we cherish. In working alongside partner organisations, our intentions are to place attachment onto the political agenda and contribute to fundamental policy and legislative changes.
