Service Description

8 weeks from 25th June - 13th August. 7.30-9.30pm (approx) Online - register per screen. Maximum of 10 screens per course. $399 (one space available at pay-what-you-can price) The Circle of Security® Parenting™ (COSP™) program is an 8-week, evidence-based relationship program designed to help caregivers build strong, secure bonds with their children. By understanding the visual map of attachment, you will learn how to better respond to your child's emotional needs and support their healthy growth and development. It’s not about being a perfect parent, but about being 'good enough' to build lifelong resilience in your child. Everyone is welcome, although we generally advise that babies are at least 4 months old as it can be a lot to absorb in the early days of parenting, and the concepts in the course can be more clearly observed in our children as they get a little older. This programme welcomes and supports diverse family structures, cultural backgrounds, and parenting experiences. Circle of Security Parenting will teach you how to understand your child’s emotions, support them, and manage your own feelings. This course is a fantastic resource for improving your parenting skills and creating a healthy, secure bond with your child. By joining, you’ll gain valuable insights into your child’s emotional world and learn how to foster long-term family well-being. For those parenting in couples, attending a course like this together can help give you the same language and concepts to use in your parenting, bringing you into more alignment and reducing parenting conflict. Isla Holding, our facilitator for this course, discovered the incredibly rewarding area of perinatal mental health 10 years ago and hasn’t looked back. She was part of the team that started the perinatal respite and community support service in Auckland. Isla has worked in clinical teams in the NHS and Te Whatu Ora. She is trained in Circle of Security and has facilitated this course to groups, couples and individuals.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel your spot more than 5 days before the beginning of the term you will be refunded the full amount you have paid, minus a $50 admin fee. If you cancel once the term has started, refunds will be negotiated at our discretion. (Exceptions are made for exceptional circumstances). If you or your baby are sick, we ask that you please stay home for the protection of the other group members. Unfortunately we cannot reimburse for missed sessions. If the facilitator is sick/needs to take leave, we will do our best to arrange cover so the group can go ahead. If we cannot arrange cover, we will endeavour to arrange a makeup session but cannot always guarantee that we will be able to do this.

"I really appreciated having a regular space to come to each week where I was guaranteed support. I loved how the questions each week made me reflect on aspects of parenting/life I might not have otherwise thought about. I truly look forward to our group days!"
