Circle of Security
This 8-week program supports parents/caregivers through the use of videos and discussion. Participants develop skills to support their children's ability to manage emotions and enhance the development of their children's self-esteem. Participants will also learn about their child(ren)'s need to feel secure, and why that is important to overall health.
Participation provides a connection to other parents/caregivers in the community and an opportunity to improve positive parenting and build parent-child attachment.
​
Rural Response for Healthy Children provides this program regularly throughout the year in different locations across Huron and Perth County, and online.
In the Classroom
Circle of Security: In the Classroom is a professional development opportunity intended for teachers, educational assistants, support staff, EarlyON staff, and others who work in child education settings.
​
This is an 8-week long video-based self-reflection program to help facilitate a positive, supportive classroom environment. Each weekly session is approximately one-hour long. Participants will learn how to promote secure relationships within the school setting, how student behaviour relates to attachment needs, and how to implement this framework in their classrooms.
