NVR is designed to empower parents and carers to build a new authority and to resist engaging in conflict with a child/young person – and can often be useful when parenting, caring or supporting a child or young person with FASD.
This session is open to parents and carers who would like to know more about FASD, it is also open to those who work with children and young people – regardless of profession.

A practical introduction to the principles of Non Violent Resistance for parents, carers and professionals, over two days - 3 hours each day.
This training will focus on:
- Parent/Carer Presence
- Escalation and de escalation
- Control vs Authority
- Windows of Tolerance
As well as looking at the other key features of NVR and how these can be used to support families struggling with challenging behaviour.
NVR can be an effective tool to support parents, carers and professionals.
Early adversity, biology and family dynamics can impact on children and their behaviour and NVR can be used to support parents and carers who are living with challenging violent and aggressive behaviour.
