Many limit-setting approaches offer a script. Circle of Security asks a different question: what does your child need from you right now?

So pleased to have supported this training to occur in WA ☺️

Greetings from Perth, WA!

Joe Coyne led four days of training that the local team made possible with real care and no small amount of effort. The room held early childhood educators, clinicians, social workers, and practitioners from across Western Australia, and it was full in every sense of the word.

Thank you to our hosts, and to all our new new facilitators, welcome to the club!

To celebrate Mental Health Week 2025 in Western Australia I will be attending the WAAMH Mental Health Awards on Friday 10th October as a finalist for the Innovation Award for the Attachment & Biobehavioral Catch-up Program which was a partnership with Ngala, Lifespan Psychology Centre and Pregnancy to Parenthood Clinic. Contracted by Lifespan Psychology Centre as the Project Coordinator and Clinical Lead for this pilot project in WA, I am delighted with the results and outcomes for WA families. I’m looking forward to celebrating this achievement with the partnership organisations 🤩🥳🥰

We’re proud to sponsor the Innovation in Service Delivery Award in the WA Mental Health Awards!

Congratulations to the five incredible finalists. This year’s finalists showcase the powerful impact that lived experience, innovation, and community-led initiatives can have on mental health. The winners will be announced at a gala celebration on 10 October, during WA Mental Health Week.

Congratulations to Rachael Burns, Youth Focus Youth Reference Group member, who has been nominated for the Lived Experience Impact and Inspiration Award for her inspiring work in the space.

Does your child push you away right when they seem to need you most? Those confusing behaviors aren’t about rejection, or defiance, or manipulation. They’re your child’s attempt to maintain connection with you through the only methods they believe will work.

Every tantrum, every “go away,” every confusing reaction may actually be your child’s way of saying, “I need you. Please don’t give up on me.”

The Circle of Security offers a new way to see your child’s behavior—not as problems to fix, but as signals of their deep need for connection.
