How NVR Ireland Helps Families
- NVR Ireland is an interdisciplinary network of practitioners and researchers committed to supporting the use and research of NVR on the island of Ireland.
- Child to Parent Violence and Abuse (CPVA) is an abuse of power through which children & young people aged 18 years of age and younger coerces, controls or dominates others in the family. It is a pattern of harmful acts through which a child or adolescent gains power and control over family members through threats or use of physical, psychological and/or financial abuse/ violence. If parents/carers feel they must adapt their behaviour due to threats or abusive/ violent behaviour by a child or adolescent, then there is child to parent violence and or abuse.
- Non Violent Resistance (NVR) offers a way out of harmful patterns that can develop in a family when conflict occurs. NVR aims to reduce conflict, aggression and violence on the one hand and, on the other, to repair the relationship between the parent and child.

Parent quote
“Being able to re-establish your parental authority in a non-violent resistance manner is empowering. NVR gives a framework for parents to be able to use skills and tools to re-establish their relationship with the child even in the face of violence. Thanks again for the course – it has great insights.”

Practitioner quote
“Parents often experience anxiety at the prospect of following through, but they consistently advise that when they test the theories, they work. The consistent attendance by most participants in the groups I have been involved in is a testament to the benefits felt from participation in the group.”
