What to Expect
This refresher course is designed specifically for father figures of children from birth to 18 years old who have previously completed the Circle of Security Parenting program. It offers a supportive environment to reflect on your parenting journey, revisit core concepts, and connect with other dads facing similar challenges.
Over three weeks, you will explore important themes such as supporting your child's exploration, being a safe place for them to return to, recognizing your own stress triggers, and repairing connections when things go off track. This is a practical reset to help you keep showing up strong in your parenting role.
Free supper and refreshments will be provided to make your experience comfortable and welcoming.
