Non Violent Resistance
NVR stands for Non Violent Resistance, an approach used by parents and carers of children and young people displaying violent, challenging, risk taking, self-harming and anxiety based behaviours. By taking a new approach to interactions, parents are able to influence the outcome, reduce the frequency and length of challenging situations and reconnect with their child. NVR is used in a variety of contexts including SEND, adoption, SGO, foster families and schools. NVR does not require the direct engagement of children and young people. Our practitioners work with parents to empower them to become the parent they would like to be, to regain their voice, and find a new approach to resisting their child’s concerning behaviours.
Continual Professional Development
NVR Psychology offer a range of professional and corporate events. The team have adapted the NVR strategies based on psychological approaches to emotion regulation for professional development and emotional well being to improve relationship management and conflict handling, building resilience, and overall team building. Our Practitioners have delivered talks for partner agencies such as The London School of Childcare Studies and NVR Northampton.
