Specially designed to empower teenagers, including those facing psychological, emotional, or social challenges. This program runs weekly during the school terms, and provides 13-18 year olds with the opportunity to engage in a cooperative, uplifting, social game that shines a light on their gifts, resilience, and ability to feel a powerful sense of belonging and value.
The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. Delivered as a structured 8-week program in small groups of between 4-6 participants, everyone has the space and time to reflect on and share their insights.
