The foundation of the Safe, Secure and Loved Program is built on important scientific research and theories (e.g., attachment, interpersonal neurobiology and polyvagal) and promotes a vision for community healing community. In addition to offering parenting classes facilitated by community leaders, this program emphasizes the importance of a follow-up component to ensure internalization of the habits of resilience.
Program Goal
The goal of this presentation is for participants to be more aware of the importance of supporting parents of children ages 0-3 to provide an environment that is conducive to form a secure attachment, which is the foundational step in a person’s future mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. This presentation provides an overview of the Safe, Secure and Loved: Resilient Families (SSL:RF) program offered through Sacred Heart Community Services and Resilient Families Gilroy. This program is mindfulness based, trauma-informed, and community led, and it aims at increasing resilience in parents of young children.
Learning Objectives

- Name six habits of resilience taught in the Safe, Secure and Loved classes
- Name at least three of the components of the Safe, Secure and Loved: Resilient Families program
- Identify two organizations in Santa Clara County that offer the Safe, Secure and Loved: Resilient Families program
