Group Programs

Children don’t come with an owner’s manual. Knowing how to respond to difficult behaviours can be confusing and overwhelming. In Circle of Security, we focus on understanding the best communication style between you and your child so you can better understand your child’s needs and build a more secure relationship.

We help you:

  • Better understand your child's emotional needs
  • Identify the emotions that are behind difficult behaviours
  • Establish a more secure relationship with your child
  • Build a stronger connection with your child
  • Develop an increased self-awareness and understanding of your own triggers
  • Feel more peaceful and confident about the way you parent
Circle of Security is an 8-week group program to help parents build trust and boundaries.
