Services for Families

HMany parents have ‘tried everything’ to change their child’s behaviour, and are shocked to witness more and more anger and aggression, lying, stealing and other difficulties. A sense of helplessness in the face of increasingly difficult, near daily incidents can wear parents down and make them feel alone with these problems. Whilst being at the receiving end of a young person’s behaviour, they are often very concerned for their child’s future. Families and professionals tend to see that young people showing aggression appear low in confidence, and anxious about the many challenges life puts to children, adolescents or young adults.

Young people showing behavioural difficulties also often carry diagnoses such as ADD or Asperger’s Syndrome – leaving parents to wonder whether there is anything they can do. You may feel you have reached a dead end in dealing with your child’s behavioural difficulties, or have become further disempowered by his or her refusal to cooperate, or by the absence of change in therapy. Non Violent Resistance, or NVR, has been developed over the past 12 years specifically to support families in this situation. PartnershipProjects has recently started introducing this approach in the UK. You can contact us directly for coaching in NVR.

Due to their extensive experience in working with difficulties arising from violence and abuse, and their training in specific therapeutic approaches for trauma, PartnershipProjects associates are also available to provide Brief Therapy for trauma and other anxiety-related problems to individuals and families.

These services are presently provided in the Southeast of England, and we aim to make them available in other regions, as well.
