eConnect Online
The eConnect Online program is an adaptation that builds on the strong evidence of the broadly implemented in-person Connect program. We have adapted the program to be delivered online using a secure videoconferencing platform. This supports caregivers from different locations to come together online for highly interactive and engaging sessions with group facilitators and other caregivers, to learn about attachment and practice how to apply this understanding to challenges they experience in their own families every day.
