Family Law Pathways Tool Talk Webinar: Unpacking the Circle Of Security Parenting Program

Unpacking the Circle of Security

Circle of Security Parenting Program  provides parents with education and psychotherapy based on attachment theory. It operates on the assumption that attachment theory can be understood and be useful to parents in interactions with their children if taught in a user-friendly manner. As a result, the program focuses on teaching selected core concepts of attachment theory.

The program aims to enhance parents' capacity for caregiving and child attachment. It can be delivered in a group context, in individual counselling, or in the home.

It helps parents learn:
• to read the cues their children provide
• how to meet the emotional needs of their children.

When children feel confident that their parents are really
“listening” we see improvements in their behaviour
Without the need for more old-fashioned behavioural
interventions, such as Triple P, and Stop, Think, Do

In this Webinar you will gain an increased

• Understanding of attachment theory and the impact of primary attachment relationships on child and family wellbeing
  
• Awareness of the purpose and structure of the Circle of Security Parenting Program 

• Confidence in selecting families who would be appropriate for referral to a Circle of Security parenting program
