Whether you are a teacher, a social worker, a therapist, or a coach, you are expected to have the answers. But often, the reality feels different:
You feel isolated: You’re making big decisions for families, but you don't have a "sounding board" to check your instincts.
You’re at risk of burnout: Giving so much of yourself without a place to "pour back in" is a recipe for exhaustion.
The landscape is changing: You want to stay at the cutting edge of Connective Parenting NVR (Non-Violent Resistance) and trauma-informed care, but finding quality, affordable CPD feels like another "to-do" on an endless list.
At Connective Family we use the analogy of the 'Harbour Walls', helping parents be the harbour walls for their children - solid, steady, and protective against the waves. When we work with families, we are often the harbour walls for them.
We are here to be the harbour walls for you.
We created this network because we’ve been where you are. We know that when you feel supported, your families get better results. When you have a community to lean on, your confidence grows.
Best of all, in the Connective Family Professionals Network, you’re surrounded by like-minded peers and experts – your very own practitioner safe space.
We’ve designed this network to be high-impact but low-pressure.
We know you’re busy, so we provide the support you need in formats you can actually use, and there are 2 membership options.
Our Full Membership gives you access to everything and is £49 per month (inc VAT).
Our Resources only Membership only gives you access to the private membership area with the resources and training, and is £15 per month (inc VAT).
Your online training portal, with access to all the resources and training, including downloadable resources designed to be shared with families, helping them implement connective strategies at home.
There’s an app to, for access on the go.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. You get full access to our specialist resource area focused entirely on the nervous system. This includes tools to help you look after your own wellbeing and resources to share with the families you support.
Live monthly masterclasses on a range of topics. These are all recorded and available to watch anytime afterwards, if you can't make it live.
This is the ‘heart’ of the network. Bring your ‘stuck’ cases, ask for advice, or simply listen in. Even if you don't have a question, hearing how other professionals navigate challenges provides invaluable "accidental" learning.
Throughout the year, we host intensive specialist days. As a member, you get priority access to these deeper dives into specific practitioners' skills and NVR applications.
Exclusive WhatsApp Group for members only: For those ‘I need a quick perspective’ moments during your workday.

Our methodology is rooted in Connective Parenting NVR. While many of our members have trained with us specifically, this network is open to any professional who is aligned with our core values and is committed to practicing ethically and reflectively..
Our team brings a 360-degree view of family life:
From the Classroom: Understanding the pressures of the education system.
From Social Services: Navigating the complexities of safeguarding and state support.
From Youth Justice: Seeing the ‘pointy end’ of what happens when connection breaks down.
We don't give you ‘textbook’ answers. We give you lived-experience strategies that work in the real, messy world of modern parenting.
"The monthly calls are so helpful. Even if I’m just listening, I come away with fresh ideas and a renewed sense of energy for my clients." - Private Practitioner
“The resources and support available are great. I’ve encouraged my team to use it, and I enjoy the calls as well. Talking to others working with families in different ways is always interesting.” - Network Member

Absolutely. While many of our members are NVR-trained, we welcome any professional who believes in a connection-based approach. It’s a great way to ‘dip your toes’ into the methodology.
No problem! We know your schedule is unpredictable. Most of our sessions are recorded and uploaded to the member area so you can catch up whenever you have a gap in your diary.
While we are based in the UK, the principles of connection and the challenges of supporting families are universal. We welcome practitioners from all over the globe.
Membership of the network is by monthly subscription. The monthly subscription is taken automatically until you cancel your membership.
Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time, the contract is on a monthly basis. To cancel your membership, log into the membership area and cancel it directly from your account. Once you leave you will no longer be able to access the resources or receive discounts on courses or events. Should you wish to rejoin at any time you are welcome to, however any previous discount will be lost.
This is one of the myths about NVR. It is often used in situations where there is violence but it’s a relationship based approach and works in all situations, not just parenting. If you want to build a strong relationship with your child and help them to develop emotional intelligence then NVR will without a doubt help.
The families you work with need you to be at your best. But you can't be at your best if you are poured out and unsupported.
Let us provide the ‘Harbour Walls’ you need. Join a community that understands the weight of your work and is ready to help you carry it.
For the cost of a few cups of coffee, give yourself the gift of community, clarity, and connection.
