Heart to Heart is based on the latest attachment research which shows that supporting the parent-child attachment relationship sets the scene for the best outcomes for children right into adulthood.

Who is this for?

This is a group programme for children, teens and their parents to attend together across the age ranges of 5–9 years and 10–15 years.

Heart to Heart sessions are designed specifically for parents or carers and their children or teens.

Heart to Heart provides enjoyable, interactive and low-key activities and resources to help strengthen relationships in a contained and nurturing group. An opportunity to explore all aspects of middle childhood and teen development including the amazing changes happening in prepubescent and teenage brains, why teens turn nocturnal and other wonderful aspects of emotional, neurological and psychological development. Empowering and encouraging all group members with the latest science of attachment including multi-media clips, lego models and the occasional junk sculpture made of sellotape and straws.

Evidence-based tools and techniques are shared with all group members to help them manage stress and develop resilience, as well as opportunities to develop a supportive network with other families and carers that may continue after the programme ends.

Adolescence can be a challenging time for parents and carers and this programme offers an ideal opportunity to share and experience new and empowering evidence-based knowledge.
