Resources and Publications

Families raising children affected by early childhood trauma often find themselves searching for answers that are difficult to find. Many traditional parenting resources simply do not address the realities of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), developmental trauma, or the complex behavioral and emotional needs that can emerge after adoption.

The journey can feel overwhelming, isolating, and at times deeply confusing. Salvo created this resource library to help families access trusted information, research, and practical tools that support trauma-informed parenting.

Here you will find educational materials, recommended books, research articles, and professional insights focused specifically on Reactive Attachment Disorder, attachment disruption, and the long-term impact of early trauma.These resources are intended to help families better understand what their children may be experiencing and provide guidance for responding with compassion, structure, and trauma-informed care.

Whether you are just beginning to learn about RAD or have been navigating these challenges for years, our hope is that these resources offer clarity, encouragement, and practical support for the road ahead.

You are not alone in this journey.
