Non Violent Resistance (NVR) programme
Sometimes situations can get out of hand at home and parents or carers might be afraid of their own child because of the abusive and violent behaviours. NVR supports parents to change the ways in which they deal with violent and aggressive behaviours. In family work, Non-Violent Resistance begins with the
parent acknowledging that the child is not the problem – the problem is the problem. The NVR helps to empower parents to take positive action to end the violent and controlling behaviour. The programme has proven to be effective for many families in ending the cycle of child to parent violence.
Contact us for more information or register your interest for the upcoming programme – weekly group sessions for parents will be held in Autumn 2021.
