The Emotion Focused Caregiver Group is designed for caregivers supporting children and teens who experience emotional dysregulation related to anxiety, ADHD, ASD, or behavioural challenges. Caregivers are uniquely qualified to use connection, attachment, and their own self-awareness to support their children and teens through difficult emotions.

Drawing from attachment theory, Circle of Security principles, and emotion-focused approaches, caregivers will explore how their own stress responses, parenting patterns, and emotional experiences influence how they respond during challenging moments. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of their caregiving strengths while learning practical emotion coaching and co-regulation strategies to help de-escalate situations and support their child’s emotional development. This group aims to provide a supportive and reflective space for caregivers to strengthen their relationship with their child while building confidence navigating big emotions.

This five-week program is facilitated by a Registered Social Worker and takes place in-person at Boomerang Health.
