Welcome to RAD Advocates Pathways

Why Pathways?

Pathways invites parents, professionals, and friends or family connected to children with reactive attachment disorder, also called developmental trauma, to find connection and understanding. Here, you can learn through real stories, share hard-earned strategies, and access trusted RAD Advocates resources. This is your place to speak openly, gain support, and find understanding among people who truly understand your journey.

What to Expect

You’ll begin by choosing the Parent Trailhead, Professional Trailhead, or Friends & Family Trailhead. Each trailhead is tailored to your needs and offers:

• Discussion boards to connect with others in your situation

• Information and resources curated by RAD Advocates

• Event updates to help you stay informed about opportunities and gatherings

Trailheads give you a place to start, but the journey looks different depending on who you are:

• Parents can continue further with a RAD Advocates membership, unlocking private communities, monthly meetings, and exclusive resources — with options to fit the level of support you need.

• Professionals can go deeper through professional development memberships, including advanced trainings and courses.

• Friends & Family have access to a public discussion board and resources created specifically to help them better understand and support the children and parents in their lives.

Your path forward begins here. Select the Trailhead that fits your role and step into community.
