REGISTRATION FOR SPRING 2021 COHORT IS CLOSED.
Calling all warrior parents! Our goal is simple: to fill your bucket. We know the last year has been hard and while there is light at the end of the tunnel, you are struggling. Our parent cohort consists of a 13 week group meeting series designed to support your nervous system, give you tools to work with yourself, children and extended family for a low cost and limited commitment. We hope to nourish you -- mind, body and spirit -- so that you can continue supporting your family.
​
In our cohort program, you will participate in 12 sessions consisting of a 1 hour program (11 consecutive weeks) and 1 final meeting (6 weeks post). During the first session you will learn about Polyvagal Theory, and develop your personalized connection plan. The remaining sessions will start with somatic exercises to increase your physiological awareness and add to your self care and collective care tool box. Following our warmup we will continue with 30 minutes of listening to the SSP CORE program (all done via your at-home app but we will listen together at the same time as a group), followed by small and large group support and break out sessions. Secure email support is available throughout the program. After your first 11 weeks, we will meet 6 weeks later as a group to discuss any positive changes that you have noticed and implemented since you started the SSP program.
Our Parent SSP Cohort is a program targeted directly for parents who have been impacted by effects of COVID-19. The SSP Group format will help give you tools to use with yourself and children so you can spread the wealth of what you learn with others in your family and community.  If someone in your family is needing a more intense program, please look at our SSP Intensive Program for Children & Families. 
If you have other friends or family members in your network that you think would benefit from joining our pilot program, please pass along the following link: Parent Cohort.   
​We would love your help in spreading the word.

*This program is a pilot. Most providers using the Safe & Sound Protocol do so with individuals and our goal is to create a cutting edge wellness program for parents. Given that this is a pilot program, we are offering the program below cost and market value. In exchange for your participation in the program, we welcome any feedback you might have about your experience. We will send out a detailed survey at the end of the program to get your feedback in an organized manner so that we can create the ultimate wellness program for parents going forward. We humbly ask that you take time to let us know where we can improve. We would also like to know where we succeeded and what was a positive contribution to your wellness journey. Please also note that while our group cohort programs are new, your practitioner has 20 years of experience in mental health and nervous system therapies, the SSP has been around since 2017 and is based on 40+ years of research. You are in good hands, we promise!

*We do ask that you commit to all or most of the group calls as this promotes safety and cohesion in the group setting. Your participation on the calls is not only important for your growth and development but your presence is needed for group regulation and development of the cohort program. If there is an important matter that must be attended to, you will have the option to listen to the CORE program independently (we will provide guidelines for this) and you simply return back to the scheduled calls as soon as you can.
