Move for RAD Advocates

The fight for families impacted by reactive attachment disorder (RAD) isn’t just a sprint to the finish. It’s a commitment to go the distance to support families in need. Join RAD Advocates in that mission and register today for I Move for Change.

A little-known but widely misunderstood affliction, RAD develops when a child’s brain is impacted by trauma, often abuse and neglect, during the first few years of life. It is common in children living in the foster care system. Kids with RAD are stuck in a constant state of fight or flight, even when the danger has long passed. 

It’s extremely difficult, even dangerous at times, for parents—whether adoptive, stepparents or otherwise—to raise a child with RAD and find effective help for them. But you can be a part of the solution.

RAD Advocates, a nonprofit organization founded by adoptive mothers, educates and advocates to equip families, communities, and professionals to effectively support children with RAD. Learn more at www.radadvocates.org.
