Weekly support groups for parents and other caregivers of children with challenging behaviors: Understanding our children better. These are for parents/caregivers who are interested in and would like support in using Collaborative Problem Solving. However, previous knowledge not required in order to attend.

This group will meet in person, outdoors at Thompson Park (1525 SE Morgan Ln., Mc), weather permitting, so children/youth can come along. Please bring chairs, any food/drink you want to have.
This group will continue to meet in the park as long as weather is not too cold. (There is a covered area, so rain alone will not deter us.)

Decades of university-based research have confirmed that secure 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 when compared with children who are not secure. The Circle of Security is a relationship based early intervention program designed to enhance attachment security between parents and children. Please join us for an 8 week class to better understand how the way YOU were parented directly effects all the relationships in your life, including the one with your child.

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs
