Pat Currie
Vancouver, British Columbia
Course Facilitator
For Pat, the strength of Dr. Neufeld`s attachment paradigm is that it gives words and affirmation to her instincts. Pat credits these instincts to her grandmother, whom she saw build a family and community through truly connecting with all whom she met. This deep appreciation for her grandmother`s natural ability to connect with people inspires Pat in her facilitation, work, and parenting. As a Child and Youth Care worker in an elementary school and the parent of two young adults, Pat is continually engaged in this attachment paradigm.
Pat welcomes people into her classes with the warmth of a kitchen get-together, sharing personal experiences together with a strong understanding intuitively of what our children need.
Pat lives in East Vancouver with her partner of 25 years, two children, and their cat and dog.
Pat offers the following courses to parents, grandparents, nannies and anyone who has a child in their care. The courses are held in different venues within Vancouver: Neighbourhhood Houses, Community Centres or in your home if it can be arranged.
All courses consist of a one-hour video viewing and one hour discussion each week for the number of sessions the course requires.
