Make your practice parent-ready
This Webinar will introduce you to Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), a caregiver-centered, evidence-based approach to parent counseling and coaching. NVR focuses on parents’ own distress facing a child’s problems, and takes them on a journey from helplessness to agency and reconnection with the child. NVR’s model of change combines care, resistance to harm, and social support to empower parents and support children. NVR is widely practiced in European countries such as the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland.
This Webinar is for:
Social workers, counsellors, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, family therapists, pediatricians, educators, adoption specialists, community support workers, general and psychiatric nurses
