It is also for any parent/carer who feels that they have to adapt their own behaviour because of threats or use of abuse or violence from their child or teenager. This is known as child to parent violence.
What is the time commitment for attending the programme?
The programme will run for 8 weeks over Google Meet. Each week’s session will run for 2 hours including breaks.

No, the programme is free to attend.
Does my child/teenager have to participate or attend the programme?
No, the programme focuses on direct engagement with parents only. There is no requirement to meet with the young person as part of the programme.
How is this programme different from other parenting programmes that I have attended?
The NVR Programme aims to empower and support parents/carers in preventing and responding to controlling and violent behaviour of children and teenagers. This is done by placing an emphasis on:
Influencing a change in the relationship between the parent/carer and the child the behaviour of the parent/carer Increasing positive parental presence in the child/teenager’s life
What can I expect from the facilitators?
A respectful approach where it is recognised that everyone’s situation is unique to them.
An open attitude to working together to improve the situation at home.
What do the facilitators expect from me?
We ask that you attend all sessions, as far as practical, as each week builds on the previous week’s learning. We also ask you to be open to practising the new learning at home.
How can I get involved?
There is an expression of interest form that we ask to be completed. This can be done by a service/professional you are working with or you can complete it yourself.
There is an emphasis on influencing a change in the relationship between the parent and the child, on the behaviour of the parent and on increasing positive parental presence in the child’s life.
