Our Vision

At Connective Family, our vision is to support one million families in creating happy, connective lives where children can achieve their full potential. We are a trauma and attachment informed, neurodivergent friendly organisation dedicated to offering practical support to reduce family crises and foster stronger parent-child relationships. We deliver our core methodology, the Connective Parenting NVR (Non-Violent Resistance) approach developed by our founder Sarah Fisher, through a blend of online and in-person resources and training, across the UK and internationally.

Our Ethos

Our ethos is built on the belief that understanding the unique needs and strengths of each family is fundamental to providing effective support. We are a diverse team, drawing from backgrounds in education, social work, and family support - united by a culture that prioritises integrity, non-judgmental listening, and the power of laughter. For our team, this means working with a genuine commitment of respect and excellence, ensuring that every family and professional we serve feels heard, valued, and empowered to create positive change.
