Circle of Security Parenting Support Program

Grounded in the Circle of Security® framework, this group program explores how parents can better interpret their child’s behaviours, respond to emotional needs, and build stronger, more secure parent–child relationships. Through group discussions, personal reflection, and educational video materials, participants learn practical strategies to support their child’s emotional development.
