Non-violent resistance programme

Non-violent resistance is for parents of children aged from nine to 18 years. It is suitable for children who are neurodiverse. 

Non-violent resistance is a 12-week intensive programme that supports parents to address or resist aggressive, destructive, risk-taking and other harmful behaviours in children and adolescents.

The young person will be using controlling behaviour towards the parent or carer which can take the form of physical violence, emotional abuse or non-accidental damage in the home. 

There is strong emerging evidence that non-violent resistance supports parents who have neurodivergent children who may be displaying violent, aggressive or angry behaviours.
