Academic Collaborative Center Trauma, Attachment and Family
PI Ramon Lindauer
The Academic Collaborative Center Trauma, Attachment and Family is a partnership between Levvel, University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Departments of Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Amsterdam UMC. This partnership is reflected in the TOPGGz qualification.
The Center for Trauma, Attachment and Family focuses on children and adolescents with difficult to treat, complex or rare disorders in the field of trauma and stress symptoms, child abuse and (unsafe) problematic family situations. We are there for children and adolescents up to 18 years old from all over the Netherlands. We also provide support for their (foster/adoptive) families.
