Agency Based – Online Parent Seminars

Highlights

  • 9 hours of group parent seminars via Zoom Pro*
  • 1.5 hours a week for 6 weeks
  • Maximum of 8 families per group 

NOTE: THESE SEMINARS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO GROUPS OF UP TO 8 FAMILIES AND NOT AVAILABLE INDIVIDUALLY! IDEALLY SUITABLE FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES, ADOPTION AGENCIES, ETC. 

The sessions have been designed to support parents / caregivers who have little or no knowledge of Non Violent Resistance (NVR) and who are experiencing low-level challenging behaviour by a child or young person in their care.

The main three topics  we will explore are:

  • De-escalation – how to understand patterns of escalation and bring calm to your family, your child and yourself
  • Relationship Building – how to re-connect with your child after an incident
  • Building a Support Network – how to engage other adults within your family structures

Understanding  how escalation occurs and what in NVR is called the ‘logic of control’ can be difficult when parents are caught up in  frequent “battles” with their child.  The seminars focus on how parents can  find a new position with their child and begin to create more peace, calm and compassion in the relationship.

We invite parents / caregivers to commit to ALL six sessions that will last 1.5 hours each. There will be opportunities to send questions prior to the session and opportunities to listen to other parents’ thoughts and experiences as the weeks progress.

The ideas and practices that will be discussed on this course are drawn from NVR and ‘New Authority’ principles.

Many thanks again for the course. I have felt much more relaxed in my parenting and feel like I am slowly able to find again that sense of being the mum I would like to be. That is precious to me!
