The togetherness cycle is a resource for professionals to use with families. It is intended to help parents and carers think about their relationships with their children.

The Togetherness Cycle is a visual resource that helps families understand the ups and downs of connection. Using weather imagery—sunshine, storms and rainbows—it reassures parents and carers that relationships with children can recover and grow stronger after conflict or distress.

This resource supports:

  • Conversations about emotions and repair
  • Building connection after moments of disconnection
  • Normalising the challenges of parenting
  • Hope and healing in relationships

Designed for professionals to use with families, it helps adults see that going through difficult moments together can lead to deeper connection.
