YCT are now able to provide Circle of Security© Groups for parents and carers of children and young people living in West Essex. The Circle Of Security Parenting Programme helps you create a secure base from which children and young people can explore, develop independence and feel supported with life’s challenges.
What is the Circle of Security?
- Circle of Security Groups are led by a YCT therapist who has been specifically trained to deliver Circle of Security Groups. Each group is delivered via 6 online sessions and is user-friendly and non-judgmental. The aim is to help families learn about and respond to the emotional needs of their children.
- The COS is an evidence-based application of Attachment Theory. The group structure is flexible and can be adapted to work for different groups. University research has confirmed that securely attached children exhibit increased empathy, greater self-esteem, better relationships with parents and peers, enhanced school readiness and an increased capacity to handle emotions more effectively. COS takes volumes of research on attachment theory and puts it in language that we can all understand.
