NVR Renfrewshire
What is it?
NVR is a relationship-based approach with an emphasis on
connection, repair, adult’s presence and responding to children and
young peoples distressed and distressing behaviour. The 8-week parent group programme consists of weekly sessions facilitated by qualified NVR practitioners with experience supporting children, young people & their families.
The NVR approach was developed to address distressed and distressing behaviour in children and young people, and it has been successful in the fields of foster and kinship care, adoption, self-harm, anxiety, avoidance and in supporting neurodevelopmental needs.
NVR groups guarantee a compassionate and understanding approach to the challenges you may be facing.
Parents who have completed NVR programmes have reported better relationships and increased confidence in supporting their child’s emotions and behaviour.
