The RADish Ranch empowers parents to be strong, loving, healing parents. We give siblings the time and place to be able to relax and act like kids again, and we help the children struggling with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD, Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) and other attachment and trauma disorders to be able to open their hearts to their parents and begin to trust and love.
Parents and healthy siblings that live with an emotionally disturbed child often develop Secondary PTSD, anxiety, and/or other stress-related illnesses.
We want HOPE and HEALING for the whole family, and we believe in support and treatment that not only treats the child, but the family as a whole.
The dream to start The RADish Ranch started several years ago, after vainly searching for effective treatment and therapy options for children diagnosed with RAD.
The RADish Ranch fills in this treatment gap by providing families with therapeutic respite, therapeutic parenting coaching, therapeutic respite provider training, family bonding camps, and seminars and presentations on RAD and therapeutic parenting, as well as books and online resources.
We serve adoptive, foster, and birth families who have children between the ages of 3 and 15.
“We felt like we were drowning before we met The RADish Ranch. The extreme behaviours we were dealing with in our children was beyond exhausting and nobody “got it.”
[The RADish Ranch] has felt like a lifejacket! Finally someone “got it!”“ -Therapeutic Parenting Course attendee and Camp Attach parent
