Circle of Security 8-Week Parenting Program

Mackillop Family Services is joining forces with Mercy Health’s FaPMI (Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness) to Co-Facilitate the Circle of Security Parenting Program.

Mercy Health’s FaPMI (Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness) program aims to facilitate positive mental health and well-being for parents, their children, and families. By influencing and promoting family-inclusive practices, FaPMI supports positive outcomes for all family members.
