The attachment style of the child could eventually change from being a secure attachment with their caregiver to an insecure attachment. To avoid this happening, it is necessary for the caregiver to develop skills…

Crisis and Surplus In this chapter, I ask what we can learn by looking to migrant caregivers’ experiences of rebuilding daily life and reconstituting community in the aftermath of disaster.
