​

Do you have several families you are supporting who may benefit from a parent coaching programme? SORT is able to develop bespoke parent programmes based on different therapeutic approaches to support a variety of presentations including mental health, conduct, or behavioural presentations. We can meet with professionals/teams for a consultation to discuss specific needs for your client group. As well as bespoke parent programmes we also offer the following manualised, evidence-based programmes.  Prices for groups can be discussed and agreed depending on the package being requested.  

​

Non-violent Resistance (NVR) 

​

We offer a 10 session therapeutic group for parents/carers of children aged between 7-18 years old. In order to create a safe and interactive space we offer no more than 14 spaces per group (8 spaces minimum). The group is based on NVR principles and supports parents/carers to develop tools and techniques to care for young people who display challenging attitudes and behaviours. These behaviours may include violence/aggression, controlling, coercive or destructive behaviours where parents feel scared, controlled by their children or distant in their parent/child relationship. 

Parents are guided through the key principles of de-escalation, parental presence, parental self-care, support networks, emotional intelligence and regulation and connection as well as techniques such as an announcement, self-announcement, sit in, campaign of concern, reconciliation gestures and relapse planning.  

​

What is included in the package; 

​

• A free 30 minute virtual consultation to provide more information about the group, to check the group is right for the family and to discuss the family's needs and goals. 

• An allocated a case holder who will consider the family's needs in the individual sessions and tailor information accordingly. 

• 8 x 2 hour group sessions that cover the core principles of the NVR programme and additional strategies tailored to the groups needs. 

• A 30 minute virtual individual session to clarify any material from the group and to think with the family about how to tailor strategies to their child.  

• A further 2 hour session 6 weeks after the group has finished for graduate parents to make sure that changes are sustainable and build on lasting connections they have made with other parents. 

• Information slides will be provided so that parents/carers can review at a time that suits them and help with sustaining lasting change. 

​

We are able to tailor NVR groups to specific needs such as parents who have experienced domestic violence, difficulties attending school, foster parents, adoptive parents, parents/carers of children with a neurological diagnosis such as ADHD/Autism/Sensory processing, children on the edge of care or parents of children who struggle with their mental health (i.e. emotional regulation, anxiety, self-harm, low mood). This is not an exhaustive list of presentations, and we are able to think with professionals about specific requirements of a group to meet the needs of the families you are supporting.
