Can People Be Saved from a Terrible Childhood?

Sabrina Bugget-Kellum had recently taken custody of her grandchildren when she heard about Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC), a program designed to help caregivers meet the needs of children who had experienced trauma. Sabrina’s grandchildren fitted that description, as their father was incarcerated and their mother was unstable. ABC gave her the training that enabled her to move forward with confidence, and she now works as a parent coach for the program. Writing for The Guardian, Lauren Zanolli reports how organizations across  the United States are taking an intergenerational approach to break cycles of trauma and abuse.
