Support for parents and caregivers

Circle of Security Parenting

A relationship-based parenting program that supports parents and caregivers to better understand children’s emotional needs and strengthen secure, connected relationships.
The program helps parents reflect on behaviour, emotions and their own responses while developing greater confidence in supporting their child.
 

A structured 10-week group program for parents and caregivers of pre-teens and teenagers. STOP explores communication, listening, boundaries, conflict, adolescent development and strengthening family relationships.
 

A personalised one-to-one adaptation of the STOP program delivered over 10 sessions. Content is tailored to the family’s circumstances and focuses on communication, connection, boundaries and reducing unhelpful interaction patterns.
 

Programs are offered subject to availability and suitability. Some programs may be delivered individually, while others require sufficient interest to form a group. Program content is delivered according to the requirements of the relevant program and facilitator training.

Parent programs may be helpful for parents and caregivers who would like to:
 

• Better understand their child’s emotional needs and behaviour 
• Strengthen connection and communication 
• Respond more calmly during difficult moments 
• Develop clear, realistic and respectful boundaries 
• Reduce repeated conflict or unhelpful family patterns 
• Better understand child or adolescent development 
• Feel more confident in their parenting decisions 
• Reflect on how their own experiences influence their responses 
• Build greater consistency between caregivers 
• Learn alongside other parents or through individual support 

Parent programs are educational and relationship-focused. They do not replace individual psychological, medical or crisis support. Naomi will discuss suitability and recommend another service where a family’s needs fall outside the scope of the available program.

Fees vary according to the program, delivery format and whether sessions are provided individually or as part of a group. A quote and program agreement will be provided before booking.

Parent programs may be accessed privately. In some circumstances, self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funding may be used where the program relates directly to the participant’s goals and the expense is accepted by the family’s plan manager. Families are responsible for confirming that their funding can be used.

Future Proof Early Intervention cannot accept NDIA-managed funding.

“The Circle of Security Parenting program helped me understand my child’s emotional needs on a much deeper level and genuinely changed the way I parent. The guidance was practical, compassionate and easy to apply in everyday life. I now feel more confident, connected and better equipped to support my child.”
