Parenting & Caregiving Resources

Circle of Security Parenting™ Virtual Group

Do you ever have moments when you feel lost as a parent? Wish your child came with a manual? You’re not alone.

Join us for an 8-session, online workshop based on an internationally recognized, evidence-based attachment parenting program developed from decades of research. It helps caregivers make sense of their child’s emotional needs, build stronger relationships, and feel more confident in their parenting.
