Relational support, built around real emotional needs.

Not all children can express their pain in words. Not all parents know how to hold that pain. At Nairobi Attach, we offer therapy and healing groups that respond to the emotional lives of children and families — especially where trauma, adoption, or disconnection have shaped the home environment.

Our sessions are gentle, creative, and grounded in attachment science — helping families reconnect, rebuild, and regulate together.

1. Children (ages 9–16): art therapy groups.

At Nairobi Attach, we provide creative, relational spaces for children who are carrying complex emotional burdens — whether visible or not.
Our group art therapy sessions are designed for:

• Adopted children navigating identity, grief, or confusion around belonging
• Children with a trauma history (neglect, loss, abuse, or difficult home transitions)
• Child athletes struggling with performance pressure, anxiety, or parent/coach expectations

2. Adoptive families: pre & post adoption support

Adoption brings joy — and layered grief. We offer coaching for adoptive parents to help them navigate:

• Pre-adoption preparation: understanding attachment loss, trauma triggers, and emotional readiness
• Post-placement challenges: disrupted bonding, rejection cycles, behavioral concerns, and parental shame
• The child’s primal wound: the often-invisible grief of losing birth family and origin identity
• Support includes:
  
  
  • Psychoeducation – Attachment Training: on adoption trauma and long-term emotional impact
  • Support groups in-person and mobile (via the WhatsApp Belonging Circle) to process adoption experiences in community We help adoptive parents become safe emotional anchors, especially when love alone is not enough.

3. Parents: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, trauma-informed parenting groups

At Nairobi Attach, we believe that parents need support, not just advice — especially when raising children with special needs, diagnoses, or trauma histories. Our support for parents includes:

• Parent-Led Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Tools: evidence-based strategies that help parents understand and respond to challenging behavior, while regulating their own emotional responses
• Trauma-informed parenting groups: guided circles where parents learn how trauma affects their child’s brain, how to avoid re-triggering environments, and how to build emotional safety in the home
• Parent self-efficacy coaching: helping caregivers regain confidence, reduce burnout, and recognize their emotional limits

We also provide starter packs, reflective journaling tools, and circle-based support — so that healing becomes a shared process, not an isolated effort.
