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 where professional knowledge is complemented by the sustaining strength of a peer community and shared experience. Our range of groups is designed to respond to different life situations and needs.

Mentalisation- 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 introduce the foundations of mentalisation and explore how we can better understand our child’s and our own internal states, wishes and motivations in difficult situations.

Reflective Parenting Group

8 sessions, 90 minutes per session Building on the educational foundations, this group focuses on practical development. By working with participants’ own experiences and concrete everyday situations, we support the integration of a more reflective way of parenting.

Experiential and symbol-therapy groups

For parents who would like to recharge and reflect on their parental role beyond words, through inner imagery and the creative process.

Preventive Parenting Group

5 sessions, once a month, 75 minutes per session An experiential art therapy group that uses creative work to support the processing of parental stress, prevention and the exploration of inner resources.

Advanced Parent Group

5 sessions, once a month, 75 minutes per session A group using symbol-therapy methods, where inner imagery and metaphors help participants explore parental identity and gain a deeper understanding of family dynamics.

Diagnosis-specific parent education

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