Becoming A Beacon Parent: Stay tuned for new dates starting soon!

We are very excited to share that we have a new parenting program developed in partnership with Family Connexions! This program is designed to help parents/caregivers of tweens (ages 9-13) become a beacon of support and guidance through these transition years.  The program is called Becoming a Beacon Parent and you can add your name to the waitlist for our next session of the free program here.

 

Bounce Back and Thrive Stay tuned for new start dates soon!

Bounce Back & Thrive!ᴼᴹ (BBT) is a a 10-session evidence-based resiliency skills training program for parents (and those in a parenting role) with children under the age of eight. It was designed as an adaptation of Reaching IN…Reaching OUTᴼᴹ (RIRO) Resiliency Skills Training Program for early learning and care staff and service providers.

Research shows that caring and responsive relationships are central to wellness and wellbeing. Foundational to the 10-week skills training program is the establishment of strength-based relationships between the trainer and parents, and the offering of compassion and connection.  Our training program offers the connection and support that helps parents to navigate everyday stress and adversity.

We are excited to be offering a new to us program called Circle of Security Parenting! Stay tuned for new dates starting soon!

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.
