THE CIRCLE OF SECURITY® PARENTING™ PROGRAM
The COSP™ Program
The COSP™ is an international evidence-based group training program that is dedicated to helping caregivers reflect upon their child's developmental and attachment needs and to foster a secure and healthy parent-child relationship.
​
The program translates decades of developmental research and clinical insights into straightforward and accessible protocols for use with families across the globe, and has been translated into 14 languages since it's inception in 2010.

-
Enjoy more happiness with their parents
-
Feel less anger at their parents
-
Turn to their parents for help when in trouble
-
Get along better with friends
-
Have better relationships with brothers and sisters
-
Have higher self-esteem
