About the Training
Our Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) training course enables participants to develop the core knowledge and skills that are necessary to competently use this intervention for violence, aggression, controlling, destructive and harmful behaviour in the family, school and community.
NVR offers a unique scope and depth of training which ranges from the NVR core model to an integrated approach for working with trauma and with multi-stressed families.
ELM offers accessible NVR Training across the Globe, we have customers in; Australia, America, Canada, Mexico, Greece, Germany, France, UK, Belgium, plus many more!
Basic principles of NVR as a psychological intervention
By trying to control, care-givers operate within the same’ logic of control’ as the child – control or be controlled. Most violent young people refuse to be controlled. The result is symmetrical escalation (parent and child losing their temper and trying to control each other) or complementary escalation (where the child becomes more and more coercive and powerful, and their parents or caregivers increasingly give in to their demands). This inevitably leaves the adults feeling helpless, disempowered, inadequate, frustrated and desperate. NVR is fundamentally orientated around parents and carers regaining a sense of agency within themselves and towards their child. The primary goal of NVR is the repair and rebuilding of relationships within the family or other social groups the young person moves in, that have been stressed by aggression, violence and other destructive behaviours.
The six cornerstones of NVR
- To learn to resist Non-violently: Understanding our own responses to the ideas of violence, Non-violence, and resistance in the context of social differences.
- To think about escalation patterns and the logic of control; exploring ways to de-escalate including non-verbal communication and prioritising behaviours.
- To raise parental presence; the idea of not giving in and not giving up, creating a sense of belonging and safety for the young person and the
family. - To resist harm and carrying out peaceful protest in response to significant incidents of harmful and destructive behaviour
- To build a caring community around each individual family; developing a support network of other adults who show care and support the parents / caregivers as they embed the approach.
- To reconcile and repair relationships with young people; developing reconciliation gestures and ways of making amends.
Non-violent principles appear at times ‘self-evident’ – but can be very challenging to put into practice; and at other times they feel deeply counter-intuitive. However, as parents and carers continue to learn to respond to serious family difficulties more effectively within the methodology of NVR, they develop a profound understanding of reconnecting within adult-child relationships and experience the improvement of the young person’s behaviour against this background.
Whilst a number of guiding principles give NVR its structure and help parents and carers develop an understanding of the process, it also allows for individual flexibility and can be adapted to each unique family and care situation.
NVR goes beyond the behaviour to develop a coherent and positive family narrative, and help children form more secure attachment, value and feel valued in their key relationships – even, or especially when the young person refuses to engage in therapy.

ELM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
With over a year in the making, we are delighted to be able to offer NVR eLearning Pod (ePod), the first of its kind in the world!

How does the training work?
Upon registration, you will receive 8 weeks of access to complete the 6 online training Modules. This can be done at your own pace. As long as you have a good internet connection, this can be done from anywhere! Once all modules are completed, you will be able to book your “Consolidation Day” training, which will take place at least 6 weeks AFTER you have completed the eLearning Modular program (ELM).
An Online “Consolidation Day” which will be hosted live over Zoom is included in the one-off training fee.
Once you have completed your “Consolidation Day” you will receive your Confirmation of Attendance certificate for the Foundation Level (NVRA Level 1), and will be eligible to proceed to the Advanced Level training.
Will I be supported?
Yes! We believe in offering you the best support during your training. You can contact our trainers at any time during the course. Or if you’d prefer to discuss anything with the trainer face to face, we provide an online weekly drop-in session for 2 hours. This is hosted over Zoom. Do let us know of your attendance by clicking on the ‘help’ icon within the ePod and the trainer will expect to meet you and help answer any questions you may have.
What are the benefits of the new eLearning Modular course (ELM)?
People think of the ‘E’ in eLearning as ‘electronic’. And certainly, it’s electronic. But here are a few more E’s – Everywhere learning, Everyday learning, Engaging learning, Evolving learning…
1. More cost-effective – i.e. cheaper (when everything else is going up, it is wonderful that we can now offer a much more affordable product)!
2. More accessible to teams who struggle to release multiple staff for training at the same time.
3. More effective at producing good outcomes.
4. Fairer – it extends learning to more people and supports individual learning styles and needs.
5. Self-paced & time-efficient.
6. Easily adaptable, yet consistent and always developing.
7. Environmentally friendly and ecologically sound.

I am not very computer savvy, will help be available?
Yes, we will have a team available to support. However, even if you do not feel computer savvy, the course has been created with the user in mind, so it’s very intuitive and simple for you to easily navigate through the full course.
Once I start do I need to complete it all in one go?
No, the course has been created so that you can start & stop whenever you need a break and it will save your progress. So you can jump back in at the same place you left.
Will I be missing out on anything by doing the eLearning Modular (ELM): Foundation Level, rather than the other training?
No, we have worked very hard to ensure we offer you the best training possible that is the most accessible and accommodating to all of our students. By running the course via our unique eLearning Pod (ePod), we are able to include numerous interactive activities to keep you engaged. Also by ensuring you can work at your own pace through the course structure, we are confident you will continue to receive the first-class training that PartnershipProjects strives to deliver. You will also still participate within a group setting on your “Consolidation Day”. This will take place via Zoom (included in price).
If I do the ELM Foundation Level is it still possible to add on the 12-hour Group Supervision?
Yes, simply include the 12-hour Group Supervision when you place your order, this is priced at £200+VAT, and runs for 2-hour sessions bimonthly. This is highly recommended. Once you have completed the full Foundation Level training we will be in touch to arrange booking you onto a group. If you change your mind and decide to add the supervision at a later date, simply email rose@partnershipprojectsuk.com to arrange to add you to a group.
