I like doing bite size training 20 mins then a break helps me process

Loved learning at your own pace

Adaptive, flexible, Gained more confidence. Thank you

It was interactive and kept people focused

It was great, thanks!

Very collaborative and lots of group discussion. Have more confidence and idea a for supervison

Feeling confident in my understanding and use of NVR. Very enjoyable and informative thank you.

Helpful to have group from the same organisations / consider needs of group as part of the training focus

Confidence in being able to supervise with an NVR lens

Day 2 was very good, practical activities were most effective. I gained the most from the supervision dilemmas

Lots of practical experience. Benefit of being face to face

Knowledge of the trainers, well planned and facilitated discussion activities and networking with people from other teams and agencies. I have a renewed enthusiasm and confidence in using NVR

Really enjoyed the content and delivery style. Thank you so much

Facilitators were fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, they fostered an environment which encouraged students to practice, share and develop skills.

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

Clear explanation of the ideas presented with examples

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.

The trainers were excellent and attended to different styles of learning.

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.

Trainers were knowledgeable and clearly had good experience. They were able to answer questions and link ideas well.

It has been a great opportunity to learn of the innovations in NVR, particularly in relation to avoidance behaviour

great depth of knowledge to take practice further, developing in stuck moments with parents

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.

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.

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.

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.

Massive thanks to Shila and Jackie. Fantastic teachers.

It helped us with understanding NVR in a deeper way and with ways of working with trauma & shame

Really great training

Really practical ideas to work with and a deeper/richer understanding of NVR

Gained confidence to work with NVR

Informative, in depth and time interesting. Gives me confidence going forward in providing more effective support and delivery of NVR

Amazing depth of thoughts

Benefits of being together in a learning environment with responsive and knowledgeable trainers. Strengths of it being in person.Great training, well delivered by Shila & Jackie.

Good delivery and experimental approach.

Shila and Jackie are brilliant facilitators. Their practice was child and family focused and they enabled full participation in the training.

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

Today was a very useful day. Rachel provided many examples. This made NVR skills and techniques real, not just a theoretic concept.

Enjoyed meeting other professionals and how they deliver NVR

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.

The trainers really embodied the NVR philosophy and used examples to bring this Alive

It’s gives us other ways to support different families

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

Good that more examples where given and where the strategies can fit in

Knowledgeable practitioners leading the course with excellent real life examples to back up theory.

Rachael was brilliant at sharing real life examples which strengthened the learning experience

Really good training for reflection and sharing knowledge. NVR is more fluid and less manualised than I originally thought.

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.

The practical methods are brilliant. I love the basket method.

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

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

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.

Thank you for the incredible training. I feel it can be powerful in my work and in personal situations.

Inclusive, informative, interactive and applicable to on the ground practise. Thank you so much

Interesting and direct practical skills given to get started. A whole new approach and confidence in working with parents (as a non parent)

Practical and thoughtful solution to common social care issues

Lots of new tools and ideas

It is more clearer how to implement NVR to families that can use non violent within and outside of the home.

NVR as an overall approach to my practice and not a prescriptive model is great

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

Learnt SO MUCH – the importance of relation being the highlight between parents and children. Techniques to use to support parents, how helpful NVR is

Thank you so much for such brilliant training, I’ve taken a lot from it and really enjoyed it

Help me in my work, How to support families better

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

Good reflective discussions. New knowledge and practical interventions to use

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!

Lots of information sharing and advice. Another approach to consider when working with families

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

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

useful to see it in action in video and to have time to think about next steps to implementation

to use NVR confidently and share our learning

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

NVR will work well with majority of young people we will see and their parents

Interactive training. Really helpful having breakout facility, and working with colleagues in a different capacity/environment

today’s session will help consolidate my learning and look at developing NVR as part of our practice.

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.

Helping parents develop skills and strategies to improve their relationship with children. New skills, looking forward to using NVR in the near future

Good group discussions led by trainer, chance to hear from other teams

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

Bespoke nature of the training was really helpful – ability to consider own case material really useful

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

Jill and Shilla were very experienced practitioners which shined out throughout the training. They gave the right amount of time for our responses.

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

I liked the role play videos where scenarios were played out, they were relevant and made it easier to understand the approach

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.

Loved, all the new and updated videos 🙂

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.

I liked the role play videos where scenarios were played out, they were relevant and made it easier to understand the approach

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

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.

Trainer was brilliant. Thank you

It has given some insight in to how to tweak NVR for families where there is anxiety and OCD

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!

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

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

Thank you Warren

Learnt loads – especially the intricacies of facilitating NVR parenting groups. Thanks for today, very interesting and informative/useful

I enjoyed and appreciated the structure approach of the training. It was informative and personalised.

Lots of information on running a group – very generous trainer sharing all of materials.

Employing NVR for anxiety

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.

I felt that the mix of knowledge sharing, role play and breaks was well managed. Thank you Warren

strong knowledge of subject matter and experience

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

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?

A lot of information in one workshop. Given me more confidence with working with anxiety and NVR

i have come away with a group to implement in my service

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

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

Very good training for thinking and working with Anxiety.

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

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.

Interactive, dynamic and engaging. Keep up the fantastic work. Overall it is a brilliant training course and l have truly learned so much!

NVR is great. Both trainers we friendly and approachable and very knowledgeable

NVR understanding is now much improved, feel i have gained skills to use with families in managing all levels of behviour displayed by their children thats causing distress and feel its going to really be of great benefit.

NVR Strategies to use with clients and my children

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Great training, really informative and will be impactful on my practice going forwards. Looking forward to implementing in my sessions with families!

Supportive, informative, facilitators were able to respond to questions and provide practical examples. Convenience of online delivery.

I have enjoyed the course and found it beneficial for my job role. Thank you.

Embedding skills of NVR

A whole new technique for parents to create a positive supportive home for their young person. Enjoyed learning and understanding different approaches to supporting parents.

Lots of knowledge shared by facilitators. Very well structured.

A good understanding of the principles and NVR and how it looks in practice.

Very knowledgeable and like they give examples including the role play videos

Really enjoyed

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).

It has been a very enjoyable journey, lots of lovely people. I have deeper questions that perhaps transcend the foundation level course.

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

Really knowledgeable trainers, thank you

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 really enjoyed the quizzes at the end they made me think and test how much of the content I really understood. The videos throughout were also very stimulating and thought provoking. I really enjoyed engaging with the training and feel I have a good foundation to take this forward in my practice. Thank you!

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

Good introduction to nvr. Will listen to podcasts as suggested to keep knowledge going

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!

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

I just need to jump in and do it now

Appreciated being online with the accessibility and savings on travel/accomodation. Thanks 🙂

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.

Knowledgable trainers, good teaching material, interesting videos

It was so well Informed and a clear passion came from the presenters about the approach which helped hugely with engagement. I learned so much! I will reflect on my own practice and weave NVR into my work with families. Thank you for your time and sharing your passion with us

Enjoyed providing a different way to support parents and hopefully getting the best outcome for our YP’s. fab training, delivered well with experienced NVR pratitioners

Learn and understand the basic principles of NVR. Great training thankyou 🙂

I liked being able to have a paper copy and the opportunity to take notes and work through at my own pace very positive.

all the facilitators were very knowledgeable and brought NVR to light. i have learnt so much!

enjoyed case discussions

I liked the compassionate discussions and systemic appreciation.

Thank you for the training and sharing your knowledge

Enjoyed group work and discussing nvr approaches seeing how it fits

Loved the exercises in small groups, they really helped to put things into practice and expand the context

Really good idea, learning and reflective space to talk about current clinical work

Loved the discussions

I really liked the case study reflections. but to be honest there was nothing i did not like.

Great course, learned so much.

The way the group exercises were structured allowed focus on specific aspects of NVR

Really enjoyable, thanks!

enjoyed case study discussion and the appreciations gestures. would prefer face to face training.

Thank you. Very thought provoking

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

Really helpful to reflect upon the process of using different ways of working which stimulated thoughts about how I work now.

It’s given me an extra tool for my toolbox!

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.

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

New authority idea. Parents taking active stance and results do not depend on the engagement of the child feels liberating.

Lots of opportunity to see what the approach looks like in practice. Very practical so it is more useful in the field.

learned to be more aware of the various stages of dealing with the problem. Preperation, beginning, after, after afterwards from the mango.

Very interactive which was so helpful in applying nvr in my practice

Great introduction, really practical to use with families. Really great, thank you

It was good for everyone to get together for the training, as this facilitated discussions. It will be helpful to try and implement this approach in practice.

I really enjoyed the training – thank you!

It taught me a completely new way to think which was good. Added strings to my bow

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

Expanding skill knowledge and skill base. Aim of attending was to identity an alternative form of intervention for YP and their families. Great resource to find alternative way of engaging parents and to give them confidence back in their parenting skill and ability

I really enjoyed this training. The trainers were really knowledgable and passionate about NVR.

Useful approach alongside FT-AN

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.

The training was clear and precise and has allowed me to use the intervention within our service.

Fabulous trainers and training. They were friendly insightful and involved us throughout the training through role plays etc to give us a better understanding of learning.

Offers a step away from push me/pull you stuckness

Very sufficient and presented in very friendly and easy to understand. Would definitely use in future with families

Thank you very much for your time. Highly recommend

Very interactive/experiential. Informative and approachable facilitators

lots of examples how to apply nvr to eating disorders

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

I learned new skills in NVR

I would like to go on to develop my skills further using this approach

I really enjoyed the whole day, brought to life NVR principles and techniques, I am excited to use these in my practice.

lots of skills and general learning re the implementation on NVR – i think the collobrative learning and responsiveness of Vasiliki was absolutely priceless

Patient and knowledgeable trainer. Interactive

Gained confidence to begin applying, clarity around the order in which to apply different practices

Trainer was very knowledgeable and gave good examples and was able to challenge effectively

Increases skills and understanding in supporting parents, wll decrease violence in homes, will increase connection, attachments and relationships

Deeper understanding of how to embed , thoughts , and practical ways to work with families , increased confidence in nvr

Lovely trainer very knowledgeable

A better knowledge of NVR and how to implement it in my Day to Day work

Embedded the training

It’s very informative and can be used in a lot of situations. It increases my knowledge a lot and equipped my with new skills!

5 stars

It was perfect to reflect on everything, thank you very much!

to be able to put some ownership and confidence back to our parents is great

Strike whilst the iron is cold.. stuck with me and shared far and wide!

able to understand and support families better

Understanding the NVR approach and using the core principles to support families with harmful behaviours. Opportunities to implement a new approach with the families I work with

Preferred it being online regular breaks left me more refreshed than face to face.

Great day Jill. Really informative

Lots of shared knowledge. Thanks Jill for sharing your expertise

Looking forward to embracing NVR and learning more so I feel confident.

Refreshing what we have learned and identified what we are doing is right or where we can improve practice

Fits in with the work we already do and has a restorative approach to working with families.

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

Flexible accessible training which linked up a wide range of people using NVR in different settings which was very interesting. huge potential of NVR

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

This will support my role as a an ADHD nurse

The facilitator was excellent, she was clearly very knowledgeable and gave very good examples.

useful to think through case examples. learned the core concepts of NVR

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

beginning to use the NVR informed way of working with the families I work with

Thank you, has been very helpful and given me more confidence.

We had two days face to face and one consolidation day on line. I found this format helpful

It will be an extremely helpful tool when working with children and families

Thank you – great experience

Online is more flexible and works really well with group work. I feel a little more confident in NVR approaches after the consolidation day

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

A friendly learning environment whereby we were all encouraged to share thoughts/experiences. There was no judgement from anyone

Enhanced knowledge of NVR and its appropriate use of its principles. Thank you for a great day

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

Thank you so much for the training, it has been enjoyable and really appreciated the time we had today to talk about real cases.

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

Lovely trainers

Excellent presenter demonstrating experience of use of ideas within CAMHS

Thankyou Vassiliki for your warm, kind, encouraging and highly knowlegeable approach today. Really good day

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

As a CAMHS service the shift of focus to the SPACE approach was helpful

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

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

Good opportunity to share experiences

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

Refreshed and expanded on prior course

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

Interesting thanks

It was good to get together again and refresh. As well as realise that actually we all knew more than we thought!

Thank you for the whole 4 day programme I have found it invaluable to my practice.

Extremely knowledgeable trainers.

Breakout groups worked really well. Clear, inclusive, concise and thought-provoking. Able to develop confidence through discussion relating to work started in NVR.

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.

Thank you – great training which I am finding useful personally and professionally.

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.

The trainers were excellent – very supportive and knowledgeable. They created a great environment for discussion and learning. I also particularly enjoyed the small group work.

Thanks very much to the trainers and PP!

Really engaging, plenty of breaks which helps with concentration, use of break out rooms and learning supportive, trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive

I thought the practice application format was much better and felt more like clinical Training. Thank you

felt extremely comfortable sharing and listening . great learning environment. lots of respect for all involved. challenging yet open to all contributions

thank you so much. so much to reflect on.

Thanks, it was brilliant, it’s so inspiring and lovely to be surrounded by like minded people who think systemically

Varied tasks. Space to talk about cases

Really informative and inspiring. The only drawback was that some people in the breakout rooms dominated the discussion.

The trainers are very experienced and embody NVR concepts throughout the training. Brilliant to meet with peers in the space.

Thank you so much – hugely enriching.

I liked how participation was encouraged. I really liked the reflective space and valued all the material and learning more about the model. I feel a lot more confident in witnessing now and supporting styles. I also enjoyed the facilitators being the room with us when case discussing

Great training, with a lot of thought provoking stuff. I’ve got lots to take back to my team too and will think more about how to resist within the system. Thank you all 🙂

Very good training for online , managed and facilitated well.

Enjoyed everything

This was excellent training, I got a lot out of it. Trainers were very knowledgeable, it was great to have different trainers who brought a range of styles and perspectives. Really enjoyed the course, thank you

Enjoyed: Opportunity to share learning with others. Trainers were supportive and knowledgable. Conversations were really helpful.

I would like to thank you very much

fantastic to hear and reflect on practitioners and trainers NVR practice

ALl the trainers were appreciative and compassionate – this was very inspiring

Loved all of it. The caseholding was excellent

Excellent – really enjoyed today

everyone got involved

really enjoyed it, great to improve my knowledge, always great to continue learning

enjoyed it all

really liked the break out conversations, hearing how to adapt to ED

All of it – loved imaginary and visualizations – announcements!

Applicability in to clinical context. Thank you very much, it has been a very thought provoking training!

The Nvr application announcement scripts supporters descalation connection

Thoroughly enjoyable and informative

enjoyed it all, I would like to do the NVR parenting training course

really good content and break out rooms

I left my thoughts about engaging the young people. The imaginary conversations for parents and for children. I loved all the connections to the NVR threads

A great day, Thinking about contextual influences, ecological presence, support statements, mini announcements, imaginary methods to create support(ers), using in direct work

Enjoyed all of it. Especially how the presenters spoke to each other, is, was so kind, thoughtful and following the model of NVR.

So great to have videos on, be treated as adults. Great to have resources provided and slides. So disappointed with the neurodiversity workshop and faith restored in partnership projects.

A lot of very useful ideas

I appreciated the opportunity to discuss ideas about this area with like-minded people and hopefully it will help to give more weight to expanding use of it in my team

Love the possibilities that are being developed

It felt so relevant to my current conceptualisation of the world we live in, and the micro level of the day to day work I do

Really appreciated the day and the content. Looking forward to Part 2 😉

Excellent presentation throughout the day on the application of NVR to ED. Really enjoyed the whole workshop.

A day that has caused many reflections and ideas to use in practice

There was very clear information and discussion about each area. Thank you everyone who presented today

It was interactive, liked the pace, ecological approach ideas resonated and aspects from SPACE which I’ve done. So all feel usable in work.

Enjoyable workshop and lots of useful ideas i can put into practice

Thanks. It has been a great day and for a first time of running this, I wouldnt tweak much at all as I found it all enjoyable and stimulating. Thanks

Wow! What a wealth of experience from the presenters! Not working with ED, I found today engaging and fascinating. I was great having three presenters with three voices and three styles. Appreciated the regular breaks and only two breakout room activities and a couple of individual activities. Loved the Macro-Micro links, the concept of Ecological Presence, and the Solidarity team take on Supporters. I appreciated the close links with Systemic Therapy, especially NT & Internalised Other.

Appreciate these specialism day events – really helpful to keep my NVR fresh. More!

Loved the mango method

Lots of great content

enjoyed how it had really helpful ideas to use in practice.

Throughly enjoyed the day.

Clarity around applying NVR principles to this particular issue, one that is becoming a regular part of my practice

Powerful session with real insight shown into how NVR can be applied to this issue

enjoyed group exercise to invite discussion, video clips, relating ideas to practice, new ideas for example self-announcements

would welcome more workshops.

Liked the ecological presence, visualisation, using the principles with a YP

Really helpful, thoughtful training day – provoked lots of thoughts and idea to take into practice. Thank you

It was really useful to have an opportunity to speak with others who are in the initial stages of using the approach.

It was really helpful opportunity to consolidate my thinking about NVR practice and how to incorporate the principles, techniques and tools into my wider professional context as well as family

Michele was a confident and compassionate facilitator. Thank you 🙂

hearing what other people do and how they use NVR in their role was really interesting

I liked the inclusiveness of the group

It’s been so wonderful. A really vulnerable in a good way environment for learning. Open, gentle and full of wisdom.

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

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

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.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being in this group which has been nourishing and reconnecting

I found the whole of the training really engaging and the trainer very knowledgable in the NVR model therefore the delivery of it was excellent.

Enjoyed the training and the concepts and will be using NVR as a model when working with parent/care in the future.

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

enjoyed the sit with approach and the importance of silence

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

I like how NVR gives the parent empowerment to make changes. More interactive tasks

The facilitators – Shilah and Jill were so competent. They explained the components of nvr so well
