Event description
We are running a pilot Non-violence resistant training (NVR) ‘light’ course for foster carers across 6 weeks from November to January
Non-violence resistant is a therapeutic approach to reducing the instances of aggressive and/or violent behaviour from children and young people towards their carers.
We want to offer an introduction to the principles which underpin NVR and to support carers in making sense of aggressive/violent behaviour their children and young people display.
Each week we will go through an NVR principle and corresponding techniques which may help to reduce escalations of aggression and violence in the home.
By the end of the training, we hope to have provided you with the tools to make sense of why aggression and violence can occur and escalate from young people towards their carers. We also aim to provide you with techniques to reduce escalation of aggression and techniques to facilitate the ‘resistance’ of violence in the home.

o Week 1: Wednesday 3rd November 10am-12pm, introduce and gain an understanding of NVR
o Week 2: Wednesday 10th November 10am-12pm, what does it involve - summary
o Week 3: Wednesday 24th November 10am-12pm, introduction to escalation patterns
o Week 4, Wednesday 1st December 10am-12pm, the concept and relevance of parental parents to support our young people to make good choice,
o Week 5, Wednesday 8st December 10am-12pm, the concept of supporters and the circle of concern
o Week 6, Wednesday 12th Jan 10am-12pm, to identify and prioritise behaviours of concern and the concept of reparation acts
