AL
Really enjoyed the content and delivery style. Thank you so much
AL
Facilitators were fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, they fostered an environment which encouraged students to practice, share and develop skills.
AL
Facilitating NVR with a trauma approach is far less daunting that we initially thought. Strategies are relational, simple and require facilitator to notice shame, avoidance, anxiety and complexity of supporter input. Great 4 days, thank you
AL
Clear explanation of the ideas presented with examples
AL
The training was very informative, it gave me new skills and tool kit to add in my systemic therapeutic work with children and their families. As a parent i gained personal and professional ways of working and way of life.
AL
The trainers were excellent and attended to different styles of learning.
AL
The trainers were lovely. Really breaking down concepts and also providing a refresher/building on existing skills. Nice combination of using slides, group activities and videos. Plenty of opportunities for discussion.
AL
Trainers were knowledgeable and clearly had good experience. They were able to answer questions and link ideas well.
AL
It has been a great opportunity to learn of the innovations in NVR, particularly in relation to avoidance behaviour
AL
great depth of knowledge to take practice further, developing in stuck moments with parents
AL
The training has helped me address parental knowledge when understanding the NVR approach. So many interesting perspectives of learning in what is an effectively new subject matter for me. I look forward to using the many modules that have been heavily discussed over the 4 days.
AL
I will use NVR at every opportunity to improve interactions on a regular basis. NVR is a brilliant mechanism to help in productivity, performance and efficiency.
AL
Thank you for sharing the course content in such a professional and empowering manner. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Will certainly subscribe to the PP podcast.
AL
Face to face excellent. Shila and Jackie huge amount of experiences to assist with learning, collective experiences of the group and different ideas adds such depth to the learning.

AL
Shila and Jackie are brilliant facilitators. Their practice was child and family focused and they enabled full participation in the training.
AL
Love in person training as connection and learning comes alive. Great to have manual and slides together. Exercises really helpful. Enjoyed having the opportunity to think at a deeper level about the ideas
FL
Today was a very useful day. Rachel provided many examples. This made NVR skills and techniques real, not just a theoretic concept.
FL
Enjoyed meeting other professionals and how they deliver NVR
FL
I really appreciated the real world case examples from the trainers about their own experiences and practice, as these helped me to imagine delivering it myself, and made it more tangible, real and feel more possible and comfortable (with the tricky topics). I will be delivering nvr in my systemic family practice sessions and will be shadowing and then delivering nvr groups.
FL
The trainers really embodied the NVR philosophy and used examples to bring this Alive
FL
It’s gives us other ways to support different families
FL
The consolidation day really brought NVR to life for me and listening to Rachael’s case studies was hugely valuable. She showed how the concepts can be individualised and used creatively depending on the context. I feel more equipped now to apply to my own practice. Feel better equipped to support parents with announcements, resisting violent behaviour
FL
Good that more examples where given and where the strategies can fit in
FL
Knowledgeable practitioners leading the course with excellent real life examples to back up theory.
FL
Rachael was brilliant at sharing real life examples which strengthened the learning experience
FL
Really good training for reflection and sharing knowledge. NVR is more fluid and less manualised than I originally thought.
FL
The examples and case studies discussed were very rich and helpful in painting a picture. I especially enjoyed how real and telling Rachael was in her delivery- I appreciate the humanness.
ELM
The practical methods are brilliant. I love the basket method.
FL
The non violent resistance approach is great! Beneficial in my life and in my conversations with families. Particular focus on what the adult can do and what support
FL
Enjoyed the restorative, relational, and consistency involved in th NVR approach, which all means parents are more empowered and capable to parent confidently, despite hard situations at home
FL
It is very useful because it can be used for externalities and internalised behaviours. A key strength is also the fact that it is a philosophy and can be applied from undesirable to down right dangerous behaviour. It values connection and empowers the parent/person applying it.
FL
Thank you for the incredible training. I feel it can be powerful in my work and in personal situations.
FL
Inclusive, informative, interactive and applicable to on the ground practise. Thank you so much
FL
Interesting and direct practical skills given to get started. A whole new approach and confidence in working with parents (as a non parent)
FL
Practical and thoughtful solution to common social care issues
FL
Lots of new tools and ideas
FL
It is more clearer how to implement NVR to families that can use non violent within and outside of the home.
FL
NVR as an overall approach to my practice and not a prescriptive model is great
FL
Very knowledgeable trainers, a good group size and lots of opportunities to ask questions. The learning was very practical which I appreciated and was helpful
FL
Learnt SO MUCH – the importance of relation being the highlight between parents and children. Techniques to use to support parents, how helpful NVR is
FL
Thank you so much for such brilliant training, I’ve taken a lot from it and really enjoyed it
FL
Help me in my work, How to support families better
FL
New knowledge and understanding of a approach that practices a peaceful approach. Thank you. Resources were useful before the course and the course brought it to life
FL
Good reflective discussions. New knowledge and practical interventions to use
FL
Lots of opportunity for case discussion, questions about the approach. Have a renewed enthusiasm about my ability to offer NVR-permission to get some aspects wrong!
FL
Lots of information sharing and advice. Another approach to consider when working with families
FL
Refreshing on what we are already dong, keeping NVR methods alive in practice, knowing when to use NVR. Improved knowledge on how to deliver the NVR pre work
FL
a good hybrid approach to training, will takeaway to make use the skills and techniques in a way that works for me in my practise
FL
useful to see it in action in video and to have time to think about next steps to implementation
FL
to use NVR confidently and share our learning
FL
Great for stuck presentations; presenters willing to share their own work to model and offer live supervision for case discussion. enjoy the reflecting team involvement of the full group
FL
NVR will work well with majority of young people we will see and their parents
FL
Interactive training. Really helpful having breakout facility, and working with colleagues in a different capacity/environment
FL
today’s session will help consolidate my learning and look at developing NVR as part of our practice.
FL
Appreciated the case discussions. Learning from and with others. Space for questions and reflections. Learnt to go for it! practice and experiment more. If you expect the families we work with to do that, do it yourself.
FL
Helping parents develop skills and strategies to improve their relationship with children. New skills, looking forward to using NVR in the near future
FL
Good group discussions led by trainer, chance to hear from other teams
FL
clear model with a developing evidence based fits well with maudsley and attachment theory. There were some aspects of the face to face i would have changed ie learning more about the overall model rather than the mango exercise
FL
Bespoke nature of the training was really helpful – ability to consider own case material really useful
FL
A useful overview of NVR principles. Helpful to have seen a video of practice to bring these ideas to life more so they can feel more transferrable
FL
Jill and Shilla were very experienced practitioners which shined out throughout the training. They gave the right amount of time for our responses.
FL
Interactive training helps you get a better grasp of the information. I will use the principles to support parents I see to better empower them to support their children with their eating difficulties
ELM
I liked the role play videos where scenarios were played out, they were relevant and made it easier to understand the approach
ELM
Thank you, NVR will be beneficial to my development and using this with my families will be an amazing opportunity to provide the help and support they are searching for.
ELM
Loved, all the new and updated videos 🙂
ELM
Enjoyed taking the learning at my own pace, a mixture of reading and videos. Being able to pause and go back over material. All of the examples given and mock scenarios were really helpful.
ELM
I liked the role play videos where scenarios were played out, they were relevant and made it easier to understand the approach
Anx
I thought there was a good balance between teaching and opportunities to practice. The pre-workshop learning was also really valuable and helped focus the content of the workshop itself onto the nurances of facilitation
Anx
Thank you for the generous sharing of resources. I always think it’s such a shame that individual organisations often spend resource developing materials that have already been produced and refined by other organisations; particularly when those organisations are tax payer funded.
Anx
Trainer was brilliant. Thank you
Anx
It has given some insight in to how to tweak NVR for families where there is anxiety and OCD
Anx
Enjoyed getting in contact with other professionals and getting access to the working materials. It is possible to do a group intervention around SPACE! Thank you very much!
Anx
Learned practical ways of supporting families with this approach, also liked the New Authority model and parents as an anchor metaphor. it was really informative and well presented by knowledgeable trainer
Anx
I liked the gentle approach and experience of learning reflecting on families we work with and using parts of the model and going through group process. Really enjoyed the training

Anx
Employing NVR for anxiety
Anx
Good resources and opportunity to become familiar with these prior to the session

I appreciated that we were kept in the same break out room as this made it much more accessible. Online can be tricky but this felt well structured with well planned breaks and the pace was generally good.
Anx
I felt that the mix of knowledge sharing, role play and breaks was well managed. Thank you Warren
Anx
strong knowledge of subject matter and experience
Anx
I like all the resources available to us as practitioners and the set out of each session. it was good to do the role plays to keep parents in mind
Anx
good access to the platform before the training and access to the trainer’s platform as well. the trainer was knowledgeable and the pace was good. there was a lot of focus on anxiety and ocd was not mentioned as much ( know they are linked), are their adaptions specifically for ocd?
Anx
A lot of information in one workshop. Given me more confidence with working with anxiety and NVR
Anx
i have come away with a group to implement in my service
Anx
This training was really easy to follow, informative and enjoyable. I’ve loads of ideas AND the tools to be supported and send to parents – very refreshing, thankyou
Anx
This training was well paced, useful and enjoyable. Warren lead by example and gave examples, demonstrated the skills and shared his experience and knowledge. He kept the group engaged
Anx
Very good training for thinking and working with Anxiety.
Anx
It is really practical in terms of supporting facilitators of anxiety groups like this. Also the flow of the presenter and the experience that was brought to the workshop made it really helpful and realistic. Also there was NO waffle
Anx
The training was incredibly well resourced with access to the PACMAN padlet as well as the padlet specific to the training. I learnt so much from working through the PACMAN padlet prior to the training.
ELM

FL
NVR Strategies to use with clients and my children
FL
Understanding recognition of early escalation and importance of deescalation. Being able to remind the parent of the choice and benefits of NVR practice.Excellent tool to have as a practitioner.will combine the importance of NVR skills withPBS skills to enhance the quality of life of families and young people I work with.
FL
Interactive, practical, immediately applicable to work we do with families, supports my own challenges with relationships with my own children that I can see will benefit me as a mother. Some valuable tools to instil in my own life to have some lived experience and faith as to how much it really works within the family home
FL
Delivering it via Zoom made it much less stressful to attend. Lots of different ways of delivering information for different learning styles. I am excited to use the full NVR programme with some of my families, but will also be taking different sections for my whole caseload
FL
Liked getting to practice some of the methods of NVR. The flexibility of the material within the programme. Gave me reassurance that some of what I already do encompasses NVR techniques.
FL
Zoom breakout rooms were great for more in depth discussions and role play type activities. Great to hear other professionals opinions and ideas, widened my perspectives.
FL
The whole approach when working with parents and families. Lots of strategies and approaches to help parents feel more empowered in supporting and managing their children who have difficulties. A different personal perspective in supporting parents.

Online feels a better way for me. The breakout rooms were a lovely way to connect on a closer level with similar minds. The pace felt sustainable and the content was varied( videos, slides, breakouts).
FL
It has been a very enjoyable journey, lots of lovely people. I have deeper questions that perhaps transcend the foundation level course.
FL
Trainers are extremely knowledge and offer a non judgemental space for any question, thought and ideas. Been offered 10 mins break after each hour was super! (I am hoping I have answered correctly and it wasn’t about NVR training in general! 😉 (which I can see the benefits of supporting families using the approach). Compassion, mindfulness, non violence check in, grounding and baskets! 😉 Oh and self care!!!! Thank you
FL
Really knowledgeable trainers, thank you
FL
Good intro to theory and principles, alongside practical examples and skill building! Tom and Vasiliki have been amazing, great question fielders and lots of well structured info, as well as breaks built into both days. A really useful session overall, thank you both!

Enjoyed everything! Really useful tools/ techniques and ways of operating from a place of peaceful strength and reducing struggle/striving in families, as well as ways of being as a practitioner. I feel the principles of NVR align with my personal and professional beliefs and values

NVR is a very interesting and valid approach/intervention, so highly relevant to my practice. Thanks to Vasiliki and Tom, it was great!

The trainers. Fantastic. The structure. The breaks. Ita relaxed and calm nature. Learned skills to help both my personal and work life. Thank you. It’s been fantastic.

I appreciated the mix of large and small group discussions, hearing about others cases, videos

doing the 1st modules independently was helpful. loved the trainers contributions, case examples and knowledge and approach
FL
Good introduction to nvr. Will listen to podcasts as suggested to keep knowledge going
FL
enjoyed meeting other professionals across other services/areas of work coming together to learn the same thing to better care and support offer for parents. All services should be trained in NVR and work collaboratively. Looked forward to the advanced training!
FL
Appreciated the expertise of the trainers. The language i gained to feel confident in using these strategies with parents. The balance in strategies to empower parents in their parental role and maintain the connection/ relationship. Thank you Sarah and Jill for the gems/ language i can use with parents

I came away with a lot to think about. I learned so many things. I apologise I can’t be more specific but I’m going to ask my manager if I can do the advanced course
FL
I just need to jump in and do it now
FL
Appreciated being online with the accessibility and savings on travel/accomodation. Thanks 🙂
FL
Very knowledgeable trainers with lots of experience and real life stories to share. Lots of techniques I can start to try to use with parents. An understanding of the approach I didn’t have before and a good understanding of how it might be applied in varying contexts.
FL
Knowledgable trainers, good teaching material, interesting videos

New ways of working- I thought the sit with was a powerful intervention.

FL
It’s given me an extra tool for my toolbox!
FL
Being able to deliver new skills for parents to be able to support their children and thinking about my own parenting and how to apply to practice to being able to teach the parents NVR.
FL
Liked using examples demonstrates skills of trainers and makes real the principles. Role play and group work was really helpful in allowing ideas to be related to own field
FL
New authority idea. Parents taking active stance and results do not depend on the engagement of the child feels liberating.
FL
Lots of opportunity to see what the approach looks like in practice. Very practical so it is more useful in the field.

FL
Great trainers! Shila and Jill were very helpful, nice and full of knowledge

FL
I really enjoyed this training. The trainers were really knowledgable and passionate about NVR.
FL
Useful approach alongside FT-AN
FL
I will be abe to utilise NVR confidentaly within my own training. I have a good understanding of what is the purpose of NVR following on from training.

Really knowledgeable trainers, really well delivered, paced well. Mix of methods. Interesting how to help parents to consider their approach to violent and aggressive behaviour
FL
I was able to join even though I was unwell in person would not have worked for me today. great to speak to others to be able to share further knowledge and understanding and implementation of how NVR can be used in day to day with families
FL
The day was well structured and time boundaried, whilst also offering opportunies for the participants to question and offer their perspective. A willingness to push forward with this way of working – resist and persist!
FL
Really enjoyed looking at real life case studies brought by other participants, and small group discussions. I will be able to work collaboratively with parents to find ways to adapt NVR to their families
FL
It provided space to gain a deeper knowledge of the theory/ approach and how to apply it to work with families in thoughtful, bespoke, collaborative ways
FL
I will take away so many things! new ideas for how to work with a family I discussed where areas of the work had become stuck. Some resource and paper recommendations.
FL
I enjoyed the ability to have open discussions regarding cases. This helped in seeing how these can be applied to practice and the influence of factors such as a risk and practicality
FL
I learned new skills in NVR
FL
I would like to go on to develop my skills further using this approach
FL
I really enjoyed the whole day, brought to life NVR principles and techniques, I am excited to use these in my practice.

AM
It was a great learning atmosphere where everyone was able to share their expertise and experiences of using NVR in different contexts. Thank you so much and hope to be back in a supervision group very soon
AM
Flexible accessible training which linked up a wide range of people using NVR in different settings which was very interesting. huge potential of NVR
AM
Enjoyed hearing other professionals experiences and learning about their practice. Feedback was delivered in a positive and encouraging way. I found it really helpful when others mentioned additional resources – re Uri Weinblatt, Shila briefly mentioning the work she does with couples. Maybe, at times it would be interesting for facilitators to expand on such issues when the opportunity arises based on what is being presented as I would have been keen to hear more details. I do found the 3 hours rather hard going. I do wonder if reflections could be shortened a little – sometimes it felt a bit like pressure to come up with something to fill the time
AM
really liked learning from peers and hearing creative and different applications of NVR in different ways. richness and creativity in ways to use NVR – in systems and with families and individuals. encouragement to keep persisting. Particularly helpful to hear presentation around NVR in schools as this helped spur me on to persist with working with schools.
AM
This training was an enriching experience to connect with different professionals. It was useful both to share how I use NVR as well as hearing from everyone else in the group as to how they use NVR in their work context and settings. The smaller and wider reflective parts to the session further supported my learning and reflections around the use and practice of NVR.
AM
Enjoyed learning about how NVR can be used in other settings; Refreshing knowledge and skills; Gaining ideas of how to be creative with principles of NVR. I enjoyed hearing about the developments all over the country about how NVR is being used. lots of ideas of how to use announcements in a creative way; ideas of how to use NVR in schools
AM
it was really good to hear the work others are doing and share ideas and learning. it also brought us together as a group of practitioners with a shared interest, passion to help each other grow in our knowledge and understanding. will take away much in relation to ways and skills to support families and staff in their growth within using NVR. the facilitators were all very supportive and thoughtful and reflective
AM
It gave me more confidence in actually presenting. i was able to work and train alongside others from all different working backgrounds. lots of ideas, and lots of new supporters in my NVR world i really loved all the facilitators and participants on this Journey, i really loved the feedback from facilitators and participants throughout everyone’s presentations. I am incredibly inspired and in awe of all.
FL
This will support my role as a an ADHD nurse
FL
The facilitator was excellent, she was clearly very knowledgeable and gave very good examples.
FL
useful to think through case examples. learned the core concepts of NVR
FL
It was helpful to revisit key concepts, but most of all the use of case discussions enabled me to think about NVR in relation to cases
FL
beginning to use the NVR informed way of working with the families I work with
FL
Thank you, has been very helpful and given me more confidence.
FL
We had two days face to face and one consolidation day on line. I found this format helpful
FL
It will be an extremely helpful tool when working with children and families
FL
Thank you – great experience
FL
Online is more flexible and works really well with group work. I feel a little more confident in NVR approaches after the consolidation day
FL
I feel that I now have a good understanding of NVR which will help me think with my families if this is a helpful approach for them
FL
A friendly learning environment whereby we were all encouraged to share thoughts/experiences. There was no judgement from anyone
FL
Enhanced knowledge of NVR and its appropriate use of its principles. Thank you for a great day
FL
relatable to my practice, systemic approach, able to practice in role plays, relating to real cases, video resources. liked the face to face days as well. Sharing resources, handouts

empowering parents, how this relates to eating disorders as this is my line of work. Using different language to explain NVR concepts and principles, trying different aspects of NVR. Remembering the 5 pillars. Extending the support network
FL

It works with the parents when the children are not on board.

Lovely trainers
FL
Excellent presenter demonstrating experience of use of ideas within CAMHS
FL
Thankyou Vassiliki for your warm, kind, encouraging and highly knowlegeable approach today. Really good day
FL
I particularly valued the final day in being able to talk about how people are starting to use NVR and exploring what the questions are we are having as a group. It felt very supportive and gave a real sense of it being used in practice. Thanks you
FL
As a CAMHS service the shift of focus to the SPACE approach was helpful
FL
Preferred it being online as more structured, less chance of distraction. Feel I would need to see it in practice to help me fully understand
ELM
Te role plays were helpful. Using films and adverts to explain concepts helped to put the ideas in mind. Loved hearing about the history of NVR
FL
Good opportunity to share experiences
FL
The 4th day being at a later date helps because you get time to have a go with the tools and come back to it all for a refresh. Reflection is golden and having the time to do this is hugely beneficial to families. Thank you all for sharing your expertise
FL
Refreshed and expanded on prior course
FL
Good to revisit themes from 3 day training. Helped to give me more confidence Interesting thought provoking reflections with my own practice and personal life
FL
Interesting thanks
FL
It was good to get together again and refresh. As well as realise that actually we all knew more than we thought!
FL
Thank you for the whole 4 day programme I have found it invaluable to my practice.
FL
Extremely knowledgeable trainers.
FL
Breakout groups worked really well. Clear, inclusive, concise and thought-provoking. Able to develop confidence through discussion relating to work started in NVR.
FL
I will take away increased confidence; refreshed material and ideas covered in really useful and supportive way. The video Peter Jakob and ideas, thinking about support networks really interesting and useful.
FL

NVR is relatable and easy to adapt to

It has brought NVR to the forefront

NVR is a powerful approach to use with families, to enact positive change. Hybrid model works in terms of travel and time but face to face sessions were preferred. Interactive course works well.

ST
Thanks so much – feel very nourished and very much appreciate Jill and Julie’s approach and knowledge

Interactive, using experience in the room, getting us to record a supervision session beforehand, embedding principles of NVR throughout the training. Enjoyed venue and food and kindness of trainers looking after us and offering an evening out together if people wanted. Felt very supportive reflective and inclusive
ST
Face to face was lovely. Loved the filmed supervision and exercises. Occasionally participants were able to take the conversation away from supervision …I have been reflecting on how I could’ve resisted this more actively though! Lovely group, really energising and rich. Thank you
ST
I appreciated being in a brave space to share aspects of myself, learn and reflect together with like/minded people. This experience has felt like a gift which I will hold very dear to my heart.

The whole approach. Love it!

The emphasis on rebuilding a strong, calm parental or authoritative presence is empowering for caregivers & parents helping them regain confidence without resorting to punitive measures.

I found the whole training excellent

Think this would be excellent for fostercarers in Bradford

From Module 2 onwards made so much sense. Loved the calmness and knowledge of the trainers

Great training on a new approach in my role that I have practiced aspects of in my previous role

Thank you for taking the time out to share your knowledge, skills and experiences. You could always relate the training to families and gave clear examples of how NVR had been used or was being used.

GH
Would change nothing, I thought it was a really well balanced training
FL
Liked hearing case studies and real life applications. Opportunities to role play situations. Group discussions.
AL
Fabulous course that I have thoroughly enjoyed and will take this forward in my role.
FL
Loved the friendly and comforting nature of the training. Both trainers and supporters were enthusiastic about NVR and this engaged me.
AL
The facilitators – Shilah and Jill were so competent. They explained the components of nvr so well
FL
Experiential aspect through role play; discussion and reflections. Inclusiveness. No particular improvements needed – brilliant job despite tech issues. Sometimes didn’t quite get the focus/purpose of an exercise straight off, but always did by the end.
AL
NVR has really changed my personal practice with complex cases
FL
Thank you so much. Really thought-provoking, open and enjoyable training which didn’t feel at all prescriptive. You’re really skilled in instilling confidence.

The trainers were fantastic, patient, personable and made the content relatable

Trainers were engaging and relatable. The content was well paced. Really energised about NVR as an approach

Thank you, you really brought this to life
FL
Rachel and Sarah were amazing and inspiring
AL
Loved all of it! They were amazeballs!
AL
I loved this experience and training and the trainers were exceptional
AL
Felt more transferable to clinical practice than the foundation level. Trainers very knowledgeable and gave good real life examples.
AL
Wonderful trainers, inspiring and validating. Thank you
AL
Very informative
AL
So many ideas to incorporate into 1:1 work. Trainers were great!
FL
I enjoyed the training overall
FL
I liked the group discussions / learning. Liked the humour and honesty from trainers

Great experience really thought provoking will apply to my practice
FL
I found the case studies incredibly helpful.
FL
Thank you, really useful

Good open and honest discussions and ideas how to implement them to practice

Really enjoyed it and thought provoking
FL
I liked the concept of NVR as a whole, but particularly liked the liked the idea of baskets, announcements and raising parental presence.
FL
Great content! Thank you!
FL
enjoyed all of it really. Felt this way of being will be helpful for all my work and home life. As well as confidence to deliver group work.
FL
Empowering discussion on sensitive issues and encouraging people to come up with their own ways to manage and improve their lives.

All really good. Especially interactions and opportunities to reflect and embed learning.
FL
Sarah and Rachael are amazing – so knowledgable. Thank you!
AL
I found the method of delivery, compassion and skill of the trainer very helpful .Thank you very much

Much more systemic and relational than foundation level. Appreciated focus on connectivity and mentalizing child’s position and difficulties

AL
Felt the trainers facilitated collaboration and sharing of ideas
AL
Really useful to think more about how to use supporters and the announcements.
AL
Thank you Jill and Shila. You are both so knowledgeable and inspirational.
AL
Videos of practice were very useful in seeing how NVR can be applied
AL
The approach of the trainers was fantastic. They encouraged discussion and views and open to new ideas.
AL
I liked the roleplays, even if I felt resistance to pariticipate in them. In the roleplays I realised how the NVR principles, that seem so simple demand many layers of skills to put into practice.
AL
I am really thankful to have the possibility to participate! Thank you!
AL
I enjoyed the clarity
AL
Enjoyed working through the manual in a systematic way, sharing of content in slides, opportunities to reflect and practise in small groups, witnessing some techniques and methods being role-played by facilitators – all helped to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the approach.
AL
The training has been very beneficial in helping me develop my NVR practice. Really knowledgeable and experienced trainers, who created a calm, reflective, safe space for learning. I liked the mix of theory with application for practice, and the opportunity to try new techniques. Thank you.
AL
I thought both trainers were really good, clear, supportive and well-informed. I liked the role plays as they really helped to embed the ideas a bit more and meeting the other attendees was brilliant. I think it could actually be a weekly module of 3 hours over three months, as this would give sufficient time to embed the ideas; try out the approach in practice and share experiences with the group.
AL
Thank you for some great training. I look forward to using all these new ideas in my work!
AL
Breaks interspersed well to help keep me focused on content. It was great Jackie and Rachael working together to manage tech. It would’ve been nice to have slides we could print out prior so we could write on them. As it stands we can’t print the slides. Jackie read the room and was able to be flexible and punctuate with breaks/ early finishes if needed. It’s great you offer face to face and online. Rachael and Jackie were great, bringing and openness and calm pace
AL
Love partnership projects and your innovation
AL
The oportunity I had to meet people from other countries. To learn more useful details about NVR To Wath videos of how NVR works in real life. I would like to thank you about your giving mood!!! ❣️❣️❣️
AL
Good use of breakout rooms. Nice balance of different media to present ideas. Broad range of ideas and models covered.
AL
Felt it was reflective and thought provoking training
AL
I enjoyed learning about the breadth of application as well as Nvr in action. I prefer face to face learning although totally understand the benefits of rolling it out on line
AL
thank you so much to the facilitators. I really appreciated the training. It just needed a bit more depth, less speed for me and more energy. When you pay for your own training it gives you a different relationship to it and even leaving early or having what felt like an advert for outcome star I could almost see my money disappearing in front of my eyes. Thank you so much for your knowledge and persistance. NVR will always go with me 🙂
AL
felt like the content was layered allowing for buildup of knowledge. sense of security and openness allowing for questionning and reflection. Delivery of material in a gentle way encouraging refection of ones own position in delivery of nvr. collaborating and discussion with other participants very valuable .
AL
delighted there is an online option and although this is an intense few days the value outweighs this. really found this so valuable .Thankyou
AL
I enjoyed it all, specifically the opportunity to practice and discuss principles and techniques in the breakout rooms
AL
I really enjoyed it all. There was a lot of information and at times I felt a bit overwhelmed, but this quickly abated after discussions. There was plenty of space given and opportunity to reflect and ask anything. Excellent training
AL
Huge amount of useful content which I can apply. Frequent group work with different participants was welcome.
AL
Thanks very much for a stimulating and informative course which has really got me thinking and will improve my practice. I look forward to using what I’ve learnt.
AL
I liked the breakout rooms and collaborating with people in different settings which really enriched the discussions. The training felt very contained and safe and I liked the mindfulness displayed by the trainers towards our comfort and understanding.
AL
So appreciate this brilliant training. Love that it is accessible to me, living and working in Scotland. It just wouldn’t be possible for me to access in any other way. Its made me more appreciative of NVR as a model and will hugely improve my practice. Thank you!
AL
Great thought provoking training. Trainers were engaging, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Good balance of content and space to discuss and reflect.
AL
Brilliant training. There is a lot to think about and process, and to think about how to start putting ideas into practise. However, I do feel I am going to have more to offer to the families I work with. Would be nice to know how to maintain connections within an NVR community.
AL
Thanks so much, I have really loved this training, it is so systemic and it’s been great to connect with others too
AL
Loved everything! so good to further ones knowledge.
AL
fantastic training, I feel I have a good knowledge of the approach due to culture, background and my own upbringing, and it’s so useful to put it all together so it is helpful for my families that I work with, also I have been reading intensively on the subject via Haim Omer, Uri Weinblatt and other inspirations like Gandhi Ji. thank you so much to Jackie and Racheal for making the training interactive and informative, not once did I feel bored or confused.
AL
Content is good. It’s a lot which is unavoidable. Having the option to listen rather than participate was very helpful to me And did note that on the final day a couple of people had similar reflections. Having the slides certainly aided my learning. There is never going to be one size fits all. I have wondered on reflection though whether having a bit more of a death by PowerPoint initially and then returning to topics for discussion or application might assist with processing the information. Think trying to reflect on the material and then provide anything adhesive back to the group or engaging practising when the mind is still full of the concepts and the personal and clinical relevance makes that a little more challenging. Just to say thanks as it’s a lot for us, but equally a lot for you!
AL
I enjoyed the training and have lots to take back to my work place.
FL
Good re-capping the approach and getting advice on what work we are trying to complete
FL
come away with valuable ideas for the families I work with
FL
Good knowledge and experience from the facilitator which was helpful and they were able to resonate with our experiences in the local authority. Thank you 🙂
FL
Everyone sharing thoughts together
FL
Overall very informative and interseting
FL
I liked that we were encouraged to think about how we as practitioners can use what we have learnt.
FL
I use NVR informed practice in my job daily but my colleagues seemed to struggle with how they would use it, this was made clearer in day 4 and seemed to gel it all togther
FL
applying NVR to case studies was helpful
FL
lots of information, i appreciated the regular breaks
FL
thought provoking session – thank you
NDLD
The trainer was excellent and has given me lots to think about and apply. The regular break-out group discussions were helpful. Thanks!
NDLD
Thanks for the training
NDLD
I like the discussion around stages of attention and vigilant care.
NDLD
It was a powerful workshop and has given me the confidence and the tools to support parents of children who are neurodiverse and have learning disabilities.
NDLD
I liked the discussions around the differences around using NVR when working with children who are neuro divergent
NDLD
Liked the emphasis on connection and language used by Hannah. Working with young people with moderate to profound ID – most helpful was section about reconciliation gestures, play and intensive interaction
NDLD
Training was informative and helpful
NDLD
Very useful for a beginner but happy that I have others in my organisation that are trained in all levels as a lot to take on board
NDLD
well balanced – listening, discussions, breaks
NDLD
I liked the NVR road map parental legitimacy
NDLD
I’m enthusiastic to develop my NVR practice and bringing more resistance to the systems we support
NDLD
I liked that it was thought provoking and gave me some ideas on how to approach NVR with families who have a child with an ID or Autism
NDLD
well paced and coherent presentation. Helpful to be able to think about NVR and young people with neuro diverse conditions specifically. Helpful to think about some of the more difficult aspects of working with NVR. It reminded me that we are very constrained from doing a thorough job due to time and organisational constraints
NDLD
I enjoyed a new way of thinking to NVR and how how it is adapted for children with additional needs and how this will work best for them
NDLD
Hannah was a really good trainer and very informative
NDLD
Enjoyed all of it. Very stimulating and linking to my work as NVR supervisor and Group facilitator.. would ask for reconsideration of being sent slides.. So much to reflect on ..2 pages does not do it. Feel it. Should be part of the cost. Would always and will be quoting /sharing Hanna. thank you
NDLD
Hannah’s ideas and explanation were really clear and appropriately pitched to experienced NVR practs – thank you
NDLD
Hannah’s experience is really valuable
NDLD
I found the day very helpful and thought provoking
NDLD
The trainer was really knowledgeable and experienced, that brought it to life for me and helped me to think about my own work. I really loved the inclusion of things like poetry and references to other work or models to get me thinking
NDLD
Just thank you for a brilliant training!
NDLD
Lots of useful ways to adapt and use NVR to meet the needs of this group. Lots of breaks. Lots of grouo discussion.
NDLD
Really interesting and informative.
NDLD
Pausing to reflect and being able to ask some questions was useful, however a few too many breakout exercises for me.
NDLD
Enjoyed the day thank you
NDLD
Really knowledgeable presenter who made the ideas really accessible and with immediate practical application possible
NDLD
So useful to this population and really helpful in thinking how to apply NVR to the people I work with
NDLD
Really enjoyed the day and the effort that went into the day and a special thank you to Rose who got me into the training last minute due to payment issues from my organisation!
NDLD
Great training, really informative. lots for me to think about! thank you Hannah and PartnershipProjects
NDLD
I liked the repeated threads of parental legitimacy and bringing into consciousness throughout each of the sections. Good pace of delivery and number of breakout opportunities
NDLD
Excellent structure to the training and the fact that it aligned so well with NVR principles stimulating my thinking about my practice
NDLD
very well put together training that really has made me think about my own practice
NDLD
Very well thought out and well organised by Hannah. I liked that her adaptations of NVR stem from her practice. Her work is very inclusive and respectful and as such it was a real pleasure to listen to her as she uses language so carefully.
NDLD
Very enjoyable and Thank-you to all concerned
NDLD
In depth look at parental positions – establishing the kind of parent you want to be
NDLD
Really refreshing to see NVR specifically used for this population young people and families. The road map was really helpful. Also affirming that things I am already doing have commonality amongst others
NDLD
Really informative. Hannah was extremely knowledgeable. Pace was good and thoughtful. Thank you
NDLD
Lots of opportunities to discuss practice and evaluate this.
NDLD
I enjoyed the presentations
NDLD
Hannah spoke very clearly which was good as I have a hearing impairment. The content was very thorough and included links to research and resources There were plenty of breaks and the content was broken up with chances for discussion. I was in various break out rooms so met various people all of whom had interesting thoughts.
NDLD
the content and delivery was accesible and applicable to my practice, as well as professionally delivered
NDLD
The adaptation of NVR into a disability based care setting i’ve long been looking for. very relevant to my practice, and came away with lots of ideas and lots of points to discuss as a team
NDLD
I liked the application of NVR to the ND context. “Establishing the kind of parent you want to be” was the most thought provoking section for me -Especially applying Vigilant Care in this context.
NDLD
Hannah is impressive. Clearly knows her stuff and continued to be present, effective and efficient. Brilliant communicator. Held space well. Present. Can’t believe she spoke to a screen all day single handed. Truly BEING NVR. A fantastic master class for partnership projects. I hope the eating disorder one is of a similar vein and that more are forthcoming. Would love to see something around NVR with looked after children or maybe NVR in schools. Thank you for continuing to support the NVR community with high quality support!
NDLD
Reinforced my knowledge and practice of NVR, plus gave me some news ideas of working current parents.
NDLD
Enjoyed it all
NDLD
Thank you for today’s training.
NDLD
Enjoyed seeing Hannah’s adaptations and although not new concepts, was presented in a different way which stimulated thinking. Great resources. Would’ve liked copies of pp. Thankyou

Enjoyed connection before correction Connection first before de-escalation

Helpful to link NVR and Asd

Really thoughtful questions asked to stimulate discussion and consideration for practical application

NDLD
Very well presented material and inspiring conversations
NDLD
Good knowledge, referral to research/teaching with references
NDLD
The training was very helpful to connect NVR ideas when working with neurodiverse children
NDLD
I liked the practice examples, connections to real life resources. Hard to sit still, but not much we can do about that!
NDLD
Great connections to clinical practice
NDLD
This all made NVR feel a little more applicable especially on a one to one basis
NDLD
Great training, should be part of the main NVR training
FL
enjoyed it all really. I liked the break out groups to do a little exploration and peer support.
FL
Good for learning more about the basics of NVR
FL
Thanks this was great, really enjoyed coming together and I look forward to my NVR journey
FL
I would recommend this course to my colleagues

The day has been helpful and will give me more confidence in NVR delivery
FL
I found the training very engaging and interesting. The trainers were brilliant and embodied the NVR principles.

Really enjoyed networking and the reflection time as a group to unpick and consider how we might apply within our specific roles
FL
Really enjoyed it.
FL
Really enjoyed this! Feel like the approach should be championed in society

I thought the breakout rooms helped everyone feel more comfortable to share thoughts.

Very interesting source material and knowledgeable training. Keen to continue my NVR journey
FL
Having the opportunity to chat with colleagues and receive peer support form each other and connect with them. For my own personal learning style having this day face to face would be better.
FL
I really enjoyed this training and have no suggestions
FL
I have enjoyed having the opportunity to connect and chat through the programme with colleagues
FL
Thank you, this was really great
FL
Liked case work in smaller groups to get fresh eyes and find out how everybody else is using NVR in their practice.
FL
Nice to see these ideas in practice. Great trainers!
FL
Just a reminder of how to use the NVR approach, and hearing other people talk about their experience with families.
FL
Amazing training would recommend to my colleagues
FL
It was good training and I am looking forward to continue my NVR approaches
FL
Great knowledge to help me put things into my job. Thank you for an excellent presentation
FL
great meeting others learning from them
FL
Enjoyed the break out rooms being constantly mixed up, so we could hear others’ experiences throughout. Would prefer face to face
FL
Very knowledgeable trainers. Wouldn’t change anything.
FL
I enjoyed hearing experiences from colleagues in how they have rolled out NVR techniques in their practice.
FL
I feel NVR is so important to every family. Thank you
FL
Clarity of thinking and presentation of information The trainers coming into role play to redirect The trainers being open to explore adjustments in relation to specific mental health difficulties eg OCD/chronic anxiety, and to the different roles in CAMHS eg crisis teams
FL
Thank you Shila and Jill, l enjoyed the training and appreciated your skills as trainers
FL
There was a good space to reflect and discuss a range of questions
FL
Enjoyed group discussions
FL
Overall great training more technical support prior to training for trainers
FL
Discussions and relating to work in groups
FL
Really good information
FL
engaging facilitators interactive safe space encouraging relevant to systemic family therapy
FL
The concepts were well shared. It would be really helpful to have had training aimed at the disorders we are working with predominantly (anxiety, ocd etc). It would also be helpful to have known the rationale of our organisation to send us on this training – not an expectation from the trainer’s but do think it would be helpful so I can see how I am expected to put this into my work.
FL
Good to hear examples of actual treatment sessions
FL
Trainers were excellent and providing safe space for discussion.
FL
Very informative trainers
FL
Good interaction between services, some ideas to take away. Difficult to see how all aspects can be implemented into CAMHS crisis
FL
Hearing real life examples from practice about putting NVR into use and how it can be adapted to circumstances and particular families.
FL
enjoyed all but would be good to have further NVR training on specialism – ED, OCD, Asd
FL
Excellent discussions and reflections. Reconciliation gestures discussion, case studies and sharing ideas. Confidence building, learning from each other and know you are not on your own. Looking after yourself and know you’re doing OK. It was all positive
FL
Clearer structure and outline of each day
FL
Liked the small group work to reflect and learn from other practitioners
FL
Peer discussion was very useful to hear what has worked for some this gave me confidence to know things to try. Thank you, useful
FL
Thankyou for your time in delivering this course Michele!
FL
Loved the opportunity to reflect on the concepts again and to talk through in relation to cases.
FL
Thank you for your input today!
FL
We had a quick refresher session and more specifically de escalation. Great use of breakout rooms and smaller discussion and plenty of time to feed back
FL
Thoroughly enjoyed all sessions and very much looking forward to putting it in to practice
FL
Breaking down how NVR can be applied and also through use of scenarios.
FL
Facilitator explained the approach well and how we could use certain aspects alongside other approaches
FL
Tom was a great facilitator and he contextualised the knowledge well
FL
Thank you for this consolidation session
FL
The role play supervision was enlightening to get possible views from different members
FL
Thank you ☺️
FL
The whole group case discussion. The break our rooms, practical information ideas
FL
The encouragement of group work and discussion and hearing from other professionals experiences
FL
A really great practical exercise where participants were encouraged to each play a member of a family. Was a great way to see the issue from everyone’s perspective. More breaks/longer breaks from screen time
FL
Enjoyed the day and feel like I understand the NVR approach better and feel more confident to
FL
Loved Wind and Sun Analogy, and wider discussion about specific aspects of NVR were a great help in thinking and bring NVR to life.
FL
Reflecting on our use of NVR, being able to ask questions around specific areas, and exploring case studies with colleagues.
FL
i really liked the revisiting of the topic areas such as escalation, de-escalation and the different pillers. i also liked how Tom did the whole group activity helping to get different perspectives. i felt that i learnt more today compared to the other training days
FL
i wouldnt change anything i think it was a good balance of theory and practice and the break outrooms were used appropriately. if i were to really nit pick them maybe the facilitator popping into the break out rooms to see how were getting on
FL
i thought Tom was a very engaging facilitator and i learnt a lot from him.
FL
Looking at case studies and considering how each family member might think and feel was really insightful. It was really useful to then think about how this would inform an NVR approach.
FL
Tom was absolutely brilliant and so nice to get his views from experience rather than death by powerpoint.
FL
Liked the scenarios, role play, deepening understanding and supporting the views of all family members. Thank you so much for today!
FL
I liked the 10 min breaks every hour. Being in the same breakout groups help as well for consistency and discussions about cases. The case discussions, recap of some of the key concepts of NVR, discussions with others. All was good
FL
The whole group activity where different people were given a member of the family to think about and others were NVR practitioners was really excellent.
FL
Emjoyed reviewing a case together and exploring how it can be implemented in our remit and role
FL
Excellent pacing of breaks. Useful material, lots of opportunity for discussion.
FL
The video in the morning was useful in terms of discussing NVR and application of. I thought it was useful generally
FL
Thank you so much. I have absolutely loved all the NVR training days and consolidation day. Love the approach.
FL
Video demonstrating NVR in practice, lots of participation, supervision team exercise. Still, a long day on Zoom!
FL
I’ve really enjoyed the training. Thank you!
FL
The chance to review NVR approaches with colleagues and hear their experiences. The video was a good teaching aid.
FL
I liked the recording of a session and the discussions
FL
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative session, thank you
FL
A good review of key principles, opportunity to discuss and use of real life examples was very helpful and impactful.
FL
Visuals at the start of the day to get us back into the NVR mode. Video of sessions. Reflecting team in the afternoon.
FL
I liked the reflective group work and conversations this was very helpful to see how NVR can be applied and adapted for different families.
FL
fantastic
FL
The trainer drew links between NVR techniques and systemic practice. I enjoyed this but some people may have found it difficult to follow.
FL
Shila was engaging and I enjoyed her presentations.
FL
The video and discussion about the recorded session were really helpful. I’m grateful for being able to see the recorded session and reflect on the approach.
FL
Thank you Shila for the great session, and thanks to the family for allowing us to see the recording. I wish we could have another day.
FL
I thought the day was well organised, enjoyable and the facilitator was excellent in holding the group. I also felt my learning developed further and it was helpful to reflect with the other participants.
FL
I can’t think of any improvements. It far surpassed my expectations as usually I find with online training that it is quite hard to stay focused.
FL
Coming together as a team and the supervision discussion, really liked the case study helped with the thinking and reflection to embed the practice of NVR
FL
Very useful and a fantastic approach for families
FL
Shila was very warm and caring. I really liked the way she framed ‘requests’ e.g. keep cameras on to stay connected. The self-disclosure was very generous and helped me understand the value of the approach and ways of bringing ourselves to the work. Thank you
FL
Real case examples via video. Group discussion. Summary of NVR principles. Very informative day, not rushed, just right.
FL
It was lovely meeting other professionals who all share a common vision.
FL
I felt very relaxed and valued on the day.
FL
I liked that there was lots of opportunity to discuss various aspects if the course,areas that wasn’t clear to me
FL
Very enjoyable course. Looking forward to completing the advanced level
FL
Excellent training – I have gone from feeling very unsure about using the principles that I have learned in my practice to imagining using them with clients and feeling more confident about starting NVR informed practice. Vasiliki was inclusive, supportive and warm and I have really enjoyed meeting other people starting to use NVR in their diverse workplaces.
FL
Thank you so much for facilitating such an enriching day.
FL
case study group work was helpful
FL
The whole day was exellent and it was nice to meet and discuss with the other participants. Very usefull exercises.
FL
Thank you I enjoyed the whole day very much, even it was a little exhausting.
FL
Nothing to be improved in the delivery which was excellent. A bit of confusion for me about the pack and the resources but not a problem because these were provided in the chat. Thank you, I feel so much more confident about using NVR having attended today and having done the E learning method it was good to be able to chat with others.
FL
I usually hate role play (!), but this felt really helpful in the context of NVR and much less scary than initially thought. I also liked looking at the case study within our smaller groups and thinking about a presenting problem from the perspective of child, parent, supporter, and practitioner and how we might go about trying to re-establish NVR work.
FL
being able to hear other people perspectives and role play for better understanding and confidence
FL
Great day, great trainer and lovely people, nice to have people from other countries, never happened to me before.
FL
Enjoyed case discussions, small group work, whole group discussion
FL
it was really helpful thanks and great to meet others
FL
being able to discuss information with others felt really valuable.
FL
Reinforced the previous learning
FL
Important hearing other people’s thoughts and experiences
FL
enjoyed unpicking scenarios with other participants
FL
I liked being able to hear how others are using the NVR approaches in their work. Also being given encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing
FL
Was good pulling everything together and listening to views of colleagues in other areas of the borough
FL
The facilitator was very good and made me think about my use of the approach
FL
I liked using real case scenarios
FL
Jill was lovely and really thought provoking
FL
loved the practice examples, linking with colleagues and links to blogs on website

Ability to discuss experiences, new ideas and refresh our skills
FL
The way she took that the best way to deliver

Great hearing the success and struggles of practitioners implementing NVR
FL
I enjoyed it all
