Executive Summary: Non Violent Resistance – a systemic treatment for harmful, destructive and self-destructive behaviours.

Non Violent Resistance (NVR) is a multi-modal systemic, family- and community-based form of intervention for serious behaviour problems in young people, for harmful and self-destructive behaviour, for self-harm, anxiety disorders and for entitled dependency of younger adults upon their parents.

Non Violent Resistance (NVR), Advanced Level Manual, NVR Certificate Course, Training Days 5 - 8: Working With Trauma

The NVR Certificate Course: Advanced Level Manual

This manual reflects PartnershipProjects advanced level training in NVR. The principles and methods that are introduced in this training module have been specifically developed for helping parents or other caregivers who have experienced trauma, or who are looking after children who have experienced trauma. However, we have found over time that they have wide application and can be useful in working with NVR regardless of the severity of the problem, or whether or not family members have experienced serious trauma.
