This course is aimed at professionals working with and supporting adoptive parents, foster carers. Attendees will leave this introductory course with a clear understanding of connective parenting using the principles of NVR.

The training complements our 1 day Connective Parenting course for adoptive parents, foster carers and kinship carers which focuses on using the principles of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) to enable them to parent their child/ren through the development of strong connective relationships and to manage difficult behaviours.

NVR is not just about dealing with child to parent violence, as the name might suggest. It is a constructive way of parenting that can be adopted for all family members and can be used for any form of conflict, however minor. The focus of NVR is on creating strong bonds which will help reduce potential future issues.

The knowledge gained from attending the course will enable professionals to identify families who would benefit from Connective Parenting training and to support those who have had this training and are trying to implement it. You will also appreciate the role of this training in empowering families and its role in early intervention and avoiding crisis.
