Circle of Security May - Jun 2025 - Online

Circle of Security (COS) is an early intervention parenting program delivered over eight two (8x2) hour sessions to assist you to become more aware of and responsive to your children's emotional needs.

Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you!

The COS Program is based on decades of research about how secure adult to child relationships can be supported and strengthened when they:

• Understand a child's world by learning to read the emotional cues and needs.
• Support a child's ability to successfully manage emotions.
• Enhance the development of a child's self-esteem, resilience, and their ability to thrive.

This program will be delivered online.

Tuning in to Teens - May - Jun 2025 - Midland

Do you want to get to know and understand your teen better?

Tuning in to Teens will show you how to develop your emotional connection between you and your children.

Specifically focusing on the developmental needs of teenagers, integrating a greater focus on acceptance/empathy, and helping parents and carers to manage their own

• Understand and manage their teen’s emotions while supporting healthy communication and emotional intelligence.
• Become aware of emotions to support social skills and conflict.
• Understand adolescent brain development and normalising behaviours.
• Develop acceptance of all emotions, not necessarily behaviours.
• Understand the importance of self-care and mindfulness.
