In the presentation, the psychological support services offered by the institution and the work carried out for families were shared with the participants in detail.

“A Mother Who Understands Her Own Emotions Understands Her Child Better”

One of the messages given in the workshop was that a mother’s recognition of her own emotions directly affects the bond she establishes with her child. During the program, mothers had the opportunity to:

• Get to know themselves more closely,
• Understand their children’s emotions more accurately,
• Develop concrete steps toward establishing a healthy bond.

Conducted in an interactive manner, the workshop offered a productive environment that was enriched by the active contributions of the participants and encouraged the sharing of experiences among mothers.
