Circle of Security Parenting®

Do you find yourself feeling distressed, frustrated or overwhelmed when your child’s behaviour is demanding, aggressive or clingy?
Circle of Security Parenting is an 8 week, relationship-based early intervention programme that helps parents understand and respond to their child’s emotional needs and builds secure attachment relationships.

40 years of community support

We started with a desire to help our community and support our neighbours.

Community Support

We are here to support women with babies/young children who have experienced severe post natal depression or are living with an existing mental health issue.

Counselling

We offer one on one counselling services to anyone in need. Dayspring Counselling service works with individuals, family groups and children.

Working alongside Dayspring has been a life-changing experience. Dayspring has been a big part of mine and my son’s life for the past 2 years.

Theresa*, a 24-year-old single mumof Maori descent, who has a child aged 2 years

They have supported me to be the best parent I can be for my son with their primary and secondary parenting courses, Circle of Security and Secure Beginnings Attachment Intervention.

I struggled with Post Natal Depression for 6 months after my son was born, as well as being a sole parent with little support. The Maternal Mental Health Community Support Workers, worked with me to create goals and found ways to support me in achieving them. There have been various workshops that I have attended and counselling sessions, that have allowed me to express my thoughts and feelings in a positive and healthy way.

For our casual donors - any amount you can put towards our overheads, counselling and creche services is greatly appreciated.
