2021 Trauma & Attachment Symposium

Cutchins Programs for Children & Families Inc. is proud to present our 9th Annual Superhero Run- 10K Run, 5K Walk/Run. Costumes are encouraged!! This community event is an exciting celebration of our programs: bringing awareness about the impact of trauma and mental health struggles on children and adolescents in our community while promoting physical health!

The Fields Center and Cutchins Programs for Children & Families are joining forces to expand access to comprehensive, individualized care for children, youth and families across Western Massachusetts. By bringing the Fields Center’s expertise in neurodiversity together with Cutchins’ mental health, trauma-informed and clinical services, the partnership creates more opportunities for families to find the support they need within one connected organization. It is a natural next step for two organizations that share a commitment to meeting people where they are and helping them thrive in their communities.

Join Cutchins Programs for Children & Families as they celebrate the expansion of services at the Fields Center! The Ribbon Cutting will take place on August 27, 2026 from 5–7 PM at 881 N. King Street in Northampton. Guests are invited to tour the center, enjoy light refreshments and learn more about the growth of Cutchins’ neurodiversity services. Come celebrate this exciting new chapter for children, families and the community.

Explore sensory and grounding strategies to help youth with complex trauma regulate, stay present, and engage in healing. This dynamic, intermediate-level workshop brings together internationally recognized leaders in trauma and dissociation—Dr. Ruth Lanius, Dr. Bethany Brand, and Dr. Tina Champagne—to explore innovative, evidence-based approaches for supporting youth impacted by complex trauma.

Our annual fundraiser will take place on April 17, 2026 at the Hotel Northampton in Northampton, MA. This year, we will transport you through an evening of “Old Hollywood Glam”, featuring iconic dance performances by local talent, an incredible silent auction, and an elegant plated dinner. Don’t miss this chance to support Cutchins Programs’ most important fundraiser of the year and help support critical mental health services for children and families, locally.

Join Alex, also known internationally as the "King of Swings" for this one-day workshop, where he offers practical ideas for the use of suspension and non-suspension equipment to implement treatment interventions at the clinic, school, or at home. Hands on the interventions to support breathing, coordination, timing, balance, and strength will be presented.
