Behaviour Support for Parent and Carers (NVR)

NVR - Non-Violent-Resistance is an evidence based approach to behaviours support that is parent-led and child-focused. NVR can be used to support parents with practical tools that help create a calmer household and rebuild connection, confidence and a hopeful way forward.

We’ve created some free resources you can download and keep - Gentle guides for stormy moments in the home.

  • Behaviours you might be seeing at home (you are not alone)

    • Aggression and violence from your child

    • School avoidance/refusal

    • Low mood, self-harm

    • Parents walking on ‘egg shells’

    • ADHD, Autism

    • Demand avoidance (PDA)

    • Anxiety, overwhelm

    • Running away, going missing

  • We work with parents and carers taking a holistic view of what daily life feels like, working together to find what feels helpful.

  • Does my child need a diagnosis?

    • No diagnosis is needed to access NVR support.

    What if my child refuses?

    • NVR is a parent-led approach, this means children do not need to agree and should not be involved in the session.

    Is NVR about me being stricter?

    • No, NVR helps to reduce escalations in the home and creates safer responses during difficult moments.

    Will NVR work alongside neurodivergent children?

    • Yes NVR will absolutely work alongside neurodivergent children. We adapt tools to your child’s own needs.

    How many sessions will I need?

    • Many families benefit from at least 6-12 sessions in total, attending sessions fortnightly. However support can be tailored around your family.

    Do you work with all ages of children?

    • We can work with children and young people from 0-19 years
