Ready to take your Connective Parenting NVR skills to the next level?

If you're working with families facing complex challenges and you're ready to deepen your impact, this is the advanced training you've been looking for.

What makes this training different?

One-size-fits-all? Not here.

We teach Connective Parenting NVR as a flexible framework, not a fixed script. This means you’ll learn how to:

  • Adapt the approach to meet the needs of every family you support

  • Work effectively with multi-stressed families and those impacted developmental trauma

  • Support neurodivergent children (and their parents / carers) and understand the impact of sensory development

  • Use the model confidently in school settings and multidisciplinary teams

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building long-term, respectful change that empowers parents and reduces dependency on professional services.

Testimonials from previous students

This training gave me so many lightbulb moments. I'm now able to support families in a way that truly meets them where they are.

Social Worker

It's taught me so much! Covers everything - attachment, trauma, mental health, sensory needs and more!  It's helped me professionally and as a parent, and as I complete my assessments I'm realising how embedded connective parenting has become in our home and in my work.

This course has been a very valuable addition to my learning and my practice.

As an NVR Coach, I'm constantly presented with an extraordinary number of different challenges that parents face, and this training has helped me gain a deeper understanding of these needs.

NVR Coach

What you'll gain

  • A deep, practical understanding of how to implement and adapt the framework.

  • Tools to empower families and create sustainable change.

Who is this training for?

Pre-requisite: You must have completed Level 1 Connective Parenting NVR training, either with us or another provider.

What about Level 2?!

Our Level 3 training already includes the depth, progression and advanced content that would traditionally sit within a Level 2. Although there’s no Level 2 by name, all the essential developmental steps are still there – we’ve just combined them.

It’s a bit like skipping a floor in a building because the lift already takes you exactly where you need to go!
