The Circle of Security® Parenting Program™

At times we all feel lost and confused about what our child is needing from us. Imagine how good it would feel to understand what your child is really asking from you. When your child feels heard and understood they will use more positive behaviours because their needs are being met, especially their need for a strong and healthy attachment with you.

The Circle of Security® Parenting Program™ is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be strengthened. Circle of Security® provides us with the tools we need to increase our attachment to children of all ages. Sanctuary Aus specialises in providing the Circle of Security® course in a flexible way to meet your family’s needs.

The Circle of Security® Parenting Program is a great way for couples to learn to parent together and agree on what is really important in parenting their children.

Best of all, Sanctuary Aus charges one price for every Circle of Security® Parenting Program we deliver. We encourage everyone who enrolls to invite their extended family and close friends to join us in the training for free. By doing this we hope to build a network or team around parents, who can provide ongoing care and support to parents - understanding the same concepts and speaking the same language.

Every person who successfully completes the program will receive an official Certificate.

We can deliver Circle of Security flexibly, for example:

  • in your home after the children are settled;

  • during the day in your home;

  • at your work (or nearby) at lunch time; or

  • any of the combination above - either at your home, work, our facilities, over a Teams Link.

We regularly provide Circle of Security to parents all over Australia, including in remote Australia. If you have internet reception we can provide the program.

The Circle of Security® Parenting Program™ is delivered over 8 weeks, usually for one 90 minute session per week.
