Family Support

Our Trauma-Informed Parent support sessions skills parents with effective relational interventions that bring consistently contactful connections, it aims to support both parent and child mental health. 



  • Sessions can develop the art of PACE, mental state talk, social joy and relational repair.
  • Understand transactional analysis including being able to cross transactions and avoid psychological games.
  • Use DDP interventions effectively e.g., speaking about the child/speaking for the child.
  • Mentalize, attune to and engage with children at different developmental stages: infancy, middle childhood, the teenage years. 
  • Engage in conversations on delicate issues with children and teenagers, inspiring interactions rather than family members in separate rooms/on their own devices.
  • Stay regulated and contactful in the face of behaviours that challenge. 
  • Support with boundaries.
  • Address own mental health and unprocessed trauma, recognising triggers and how to respond.
