Secure attachments provide the foundation for healthy brain development and set a precedent for all future relationships. Parents will be introduced to 'relationship focussed' parenting which supports them to give their child a positive childhood. This approach enables trust between parents and their children to build. This can lead to the child being able to experience 'secure' relationship patterns and promote the development of the neural pathways which will support children in reaching their full potential.

Group sessions will focus on parents abilities to understand and manage the complex and challenging behaviours of their children by enabling them to understand where the attachment difficulties started and the unique issues that children with attachment problems can have as a result of their early childhood experiences.

This is an eight week programme for children and young people aged 8 to 16 years. The programme for children and young people explores what has happened. It hopes to help children and young people manage difficult feelings and find better ways of coping. We hope it will provide them with increased confidence and self-esteem, whilst improving relationships with those around them and preparing them for healthy relationships in the future.
