Upcoming Course: Managing Challenging Behaviour through NVR

We are pleased to share details of a specialised five-week online course starting this June, designed for parents of primary school children with ADHD who frequently exhibit aggressive, controlling, or challenging behaviour.

The course utilises Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) - a therapeutic approach led by accredited practitioner Jenny Wilkinson. The sessions focus on moving away from conflict and toward a calmer, more connected home environment.

What the course covers:

Understanding the root causes of aggressive behaviour.
Practical techniques to de-escalate difficult situations.
Strategies to repair the parent-child relationship and build a support network.
Weekly themes including "picking your battles" and increasing "parental presence."

Key Information:

Dates: Mondays, 1st June – 29th June (5 weeks).
Time: 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm via Zoom.
Cost: £40 per person for Richmond Borough residents (higher rates apply for non-residents).

As the sessions are interactive, participants are encouraged to join with their cameras on to get the most out of the group dynamic.
