Encounter is a therapeutic offer based on the principles of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), which explores ‘connection before correction’ and has proven to be effective even where a child has anxiety, ADHD, or Autism. NVR is an innovative form of systemic family intervention, which has been developed for aggressive, violent, controlling, and self-destructive behaviour in young people. It can help parents/carers to re-establish a warm, loving and containing parental presence.
