Using attachment theory, family systems theory, audiovisuals, presentations, exercises and structured private conversations and group support, participants will begin to learn how to express their need for connection in ways that reflect the changing stages they find themselves in. The focus is on a dyad of parent and one adult child at a time as attachment relationships are dyadic and unique.

A relationship between parents and one child might grow easily.With another child it might get stuck. Why does this happen?
We hope that we will be able to struggle together with change and loss.We may be lucky enough to have the help of grandparents and still we work to be understood.
Regardless of your age, as a parent you want to heal ruptures with your grown upkid and as and as an adult child, no matter how old you are, you want to be understood and accepted in your separate autonomous life.
Why do we sometimes struggle to know how to be with each other? We are a family through the decades, longer than ever in history! Our roles change, there is transition and loss. Moments of disconnection, conflict and distance are to be expected. Misunderstanding and insecurity are inevitable!
