Circle of Security

Circle of Security is a relationship-based early intervention program designed to enhance attachment security between parents and children.

The program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Using the Circle of Security model, parents and caregivers will learn to:

  • Understand their child’s world by learning to reads emotional needs
  • Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
  • Enhance the development of their child’s self-esteem
  • Honour the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure

A lack of attachment, or dysfunctional attachment, can have a life long negative effect impact on brain development and social and emotional well-being of children and young people.
