Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.
When: Tuesdays
Time: 6:00-7:00 pm

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!
Safe and sound protocol
We are excited to announce that we now offer the
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)!
This is a sound-based (auditory) intervention that is a direct route into the nervous system allowing for a shift that can then be built upon with therapeutic strategies and supports.
.
The SSP protocol was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges based on his Polyvagal Theory. SSP is designed to support social engagement and emotional regulation. The SSP involves listening to specially processed music or auditory stimuli that are designed to stimulate the vagus nerve and regulate the autonomic nervous system. SSP can enhance or accelerate occupational, physical, speech, or mental health therapies, although the primary goal of the SSP is to improve social communication, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. It aims to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation.
Who is the program appropriate for:
- Age 18 months and up
- Auditory sensitivity
- Struggle with focus and attention- ADHD
- Symptoms related to trauma
- Struggling with social or emotional challenges
- Chronic stress
- You do not need to be a current client of CTN!
​
This program is NOT appropriate for those currently experiencing trauma or instability of living situation, those actively engaging in self-injury, those who are actively engaged in psychotropic medication trials, those with active seizures.
​
Program Details: Prior to beginning, there is an intake session with the SSP clinician. We will review the client's history, the background of SSP, expectations, and fit, etc. From there, we choose the appropriate program selection from below:
​
• SSP Connect• Provides a gentle and “safe” introduction when needed• The playlist is curated to be calming and grounding• The recommended first step for those with a highly dysregulated nervous system
​
• SSP CORE• Traditional 5-hour listening protocol• Split up into smaller listening sessions• Participate in 30-min follow up session via phone/zoom to update program and progress
​
• SSP Balance• Listeners can begin up to 8 weeks after completing SSP Core• Largely unsupervised and can be used at home on one’s own time• Can be used for ongoing, daily support or sporadically when needed• May be used as a “warm up” before SSP Core repeat​
Investment:
-
SSP Intake/Assessment/30 min Follow up session – $200 (required for everyone)
​​
-
SSP license- $200 for 3 months (can extend program for a per monthly rate if needed)​

***Equipment requirements - device to download the program app and over the ear headphones without noise cancelling effect.
