Circle of Security
The program is an evidence-based, structured, and supportive eight-week group program which aims to nurture a secure attachment for children to their primary caregiver and in doing so, fosters the child’s confidence, compassion and resilience to leave them better able to regulate their emotions.
Caregivers participating in the group learn how to:
- Feel less stress and more competent as a parent
- Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read their emotional needs
- Help their child to get to know their feelings and how to calm down
- Understand their child’s need to explore and learn about their world
- Find the confidence to set age-appropriate limits.
Cost: $150 per family
Duration: 8-weeks x 2-hour session
