You Are the Strategy!

This is a half or a full day workshop with the same objectives but a full day affords us to observe more video of children, and to have more discussion of how your work fits with this information.  Participants should be working directly with children.  This is an attachment focused workshop that will give you:

 

  • Knowledge of how attachment patterns are protective patterns
  • Knowledge of how trauma alters our attachment or relationship trajectory
  • Practical ideas to create a secure and safe relationship for a child
  • A brief introduction to the Circle of Security model

 

 

Circle of Security Course

This is a 10-session program for those who either care directly for children, such as foster parents, group home workers, support workers, or people in child care.  Each 2-hour session takes you deeper into an understanding of concepts around attachment, but also highlights how we are in relationship.  Our focus remains on the child, but shifts to managing ourselves differently so to create relief within relationship for the child with you.  There will be 9 consecutive weekly sessions plus a bonus session roughly a month later.  There will also be additional components on intergenerational and individual trauma, and valuing of cultures.
