NOTE: 2 part course on Wednesday 8th and 15th June 10am - 2pm

This connective parenting course is aimed at parents/carers parenting an individual with FASD or Pre-natal Alcohol Exposure. It is structured around the principles of Non Violent Resistance to enable parents/carers to parent their child/ren through the development of strong connective relationships and to manage difficult behaviours. The course is practical in nature, taking attendees through the key elements of the NVR map (not sit-ins or announcements) and providing suggested strategies for parents/carers to implement in the home.

NVR is not just about dealing with child to parent violence. 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 in creating strong bonds which will help reduce potential future issues; you don't need to be at crisis point to start using it.

Attendees will leave this introductory course with a clear understanding of the principles of NVR and practical skills to enable them to go home and implement what they have learnt.
