Certificate Training Programme with Peter Jakob

NVR and the New Authority

15/16 Mar 2012, 10/11 May 2012, 20/21 Sep 2012, 4th TBC

Non Violent Resistance (Haim Omer) is a rapidly growing new approach for dealing with complex difficulties around aggression, destructive and self-destructive behaviour in children, adolescents and young adults. Ranging from violence, drug taking and running away, to anxiety, self isolation and adult entitled dependence, this family and community approach offers parents ways of dealing effectively with the problem, while improving the often frayed relationship with their child. NVR is also being used to help carers of looked after children and teachers overcome disruptive or aggressive behaviour. By de-veloping a focus on unmet need in the child, NVR goes beyond the behaviour to help children develop more secure attachment, value and feel valued in their key relationships - even, or especially when the young person refuses to engage in therapy.

This is the first comprehensive course of its kind in the United Kingdom. Professionals in CAMHS, mental health, social care, education and youth justice will have the opportunity to develop the core competencies that are required for using this intervention successfully in working with violence, aggression, controlling and self-destructive behaviour in the family, school and community.

Course fees:

• £800 for all four training workshops + 20% VAT = £960
