I contacted Dr Suzanne Zeedyke and was amazed when she agreed to come and talk to a small group of volunteer mentors and kinship carers at our Dundee office on 8 September.
Suzanne gave us a talk entitled ‘Sabre tooth tigers and teddy bears: Understanding attachment’. The talk led us on an emotional journey; it was a powerful, life changing engagement and all present were affected by it.
