Approach to Facilitation
Patrick developed the Safe Home Base Program in order to assist parents to both create community and to gain practical evidence-based techniques to show up as the parents they'd like to be while dealing with the stress of everyday life. Therefore, session time tends to be evenly split between knowledge acquisition and discussion among the group. It is meant to be a fun, affirming, challenging and enlightening experience.
Approach to Coaching
Building on the Global Family Hub's connection-focused approach, Patrick helps clients get clarity about what they really want to achieve and how they would like to achieve it. Along the way, Patrick introduces evidence-based practices and techniques to assist them in their journey.
