We will then review your application to see if you meet the eligibility criteria for the programme. For further information please contact your local family hub.

Building Positive Relationships (for parents and carers)(ages 5 upwards)

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.
