ACORN parent-infant attachment group
An attachment-based group for mums struggling with their mental health, and their children aged birth to 3 years. This group is structured to strengthen your relationship with your child through experiences of shared play, music and movement, and some parent-only time for reflection. A referral from your health professional is needed to attend ACORN.
This group is facilitated and supported by AnglicareSA.
