Supporting families

Connective Family can give you the tools and resources you need to support parents and carers. Our Connective Parenting NVR framework draws on a wide range of therapeutic models and so can
significantly help anyone who works with families.

How Connective Parenting NVR can help you in supporting families, parents & carers

It’s all too easy to focus on the short term. A quick win? Perhaps. Effective? No. Connective Parenting NVR provides a long-term solution that works for all family settings – birth parents, foster carers, adoptive parents, kinship carers. It also works within school and residential settings and any environment supporting young people

Connective Parenting NVR:

  • empowers parents and carers and helps bring around real change
  • potentially reduces the need for support over the long term

The earlier families are introduced to the approach the better – waiting until they are in crisis is harder for everyone.

  • RBe more effective

  • RHelp families out of crisis
  • RAccess practical resources
  • RReduce the need for support
