Introduction to Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) (Level 1) 3 day Classroom Workshop

This three part workshop will introduce the tools of the NVR (Non-Violent Resistance) Parenting Programme. NVR is an effective practice based evidence course that aims to help parents and carers manage older children and adolescents where there are difficulties due to defiance, conduct problems, child to parent violence, school refusal, ADHD, ASD or significant anxiety.

Using a mix of teaching, role play and discussion, we will introduce NVR tools including De-escalation, Parental Presence and a further range of NVR tools and techniques that support parents and carers to re-build the relationship with their child / young person.
