Level 2

What is IAFT Level 2?

Advance your skills in IAFT with a small group of clinicians led by family therapy expert and attachment specialist Dafna Lender, developer of Integrative Attachment Family Therapy (IAFT).

Receive case consultation, with opportunities to present a case or clinical situation and get answers directly from Dafna.

You'll practice skills through live demos and small-group work, and receive resources such as handouts, worksheets, and articles related to the topics discussed.

Meet other professionals who share your perspective and challenges. Limited to a small group of participants.

As a prerequisite, you must have completed Integrative Attachment Family Therapy Level 1.

CEs are not offered for IAFT Level 2, as this is a more hands-on, practical training. Sessions are recorded for those who can't attend all or part of a session.

This training was so very valuable both in deepening my understanding and in developing my skill level of a framework that is so effective. It was profound to me how Dafna’s ability to provide an environment that is safe and supportive coupled with being in a group of peers who were all engaged and encouraging in the breakout groups, has allowed for so much growth.
