Circle of Security
|
MSOC offers the Circle of Security® Parenting program, an attachment-based, evidence-informed program that helps parents understand and strengthen their relationships with their children. The program guides parents to: understand their child’s emotional world, support emotional regulation, enhance self-esteem, and honor their child’s innate need for security. Running for eight weeks with sessions of 60–75 minutes and up to 12 participants, the program provides parents with a practical ‘map’ for responding to their children’s needs. Research shows that parents who engage in this approach consistently help their children develop strong, healthy relationships, laying the foundation for long-term success and well-being.
