Group-Based Parent Support – How Do We Work Together with Parents?

At MURMO, we believe that supporting children is most effective when parents are supported as well. Alongside individual consultations, we offer small parent groups that combine professional guidance with the supportive strength of a peer community and shared experiences.

We have designed our range of groups to meet the needs of different life situations:

🧠 Mentalization- and Reflection-Focused Groups

These groups help parents gain a deeper understanding of the emotions and intentions underlying their children’s behaviour, while strengthening parental awareness.

MBT-I Psychoeducational Group

3 sessions, 120 minutes per session

We will explore the foundations of mentalization and help parents gain insight into how they can better understand their child’s—and their own—inner emotional states, wishes and motivations in difficult situations.

Reflective Parenting Group

8 sessions, 90 minutes per session

Building on the psychoeducational foundations, the focus here shifts to deeper practical work. Through personal experiences and the exploration of specific everyday situations, we support the integration of reflective parenting into daily life.

🎨 Experiential and Symbol Therapy Groups

For parents who wish to recharge and reflect on their parenting role beyond words, through inner imagery and the power of creative expression.

Preventive Parenting Group

5 sessions, held once a month, 75 minutes per session

An art therapy–based experiential group that supports parents in processing parenting stress, promoting prevention and identifying personal resources through creative expression.

Advanced Parenting Group

5 sessions, held once a month, 75 minutes per session

A group based on symbol therapy methodology, using inner imagery and metaphors to explore parenting identity and gain a deeper understanding of family dynamics.

🎯 Diagnosis-Specific Parent Education Groups

Practical, focused groups that provide concrete guidance and effective strategies for everyday life when a child follows an individual developmental path.

ADHD Parent Education Group

3+1 session

Practical guidance and support for parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with a focus on creating structure and managing emotional outbursts.

ASD Parent Education Group

3+1 session

Targeted support for families raising children with autism spectrum disorder, helping to make everyday communication and mutual understanding easier.

Why should you join?

In these groups, parents can experience that they are not alone with their questions and difficulties. We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where, alongside professional guidance, participants can draw strength and practical ideas from one another’s experiences.
