Sarah Fisher #CapaCommunityConnections

As an adoptive mum supporting her son through some challenging times, Sarah Fisher learnt about non–violent resistance (NVR) and adapted it to develop a more holistic approach – Connective Parenting NVR. She now shares the approach with families from across the UK and beyond and also trains other professionals working with families in this approach.

Sarah joined us for our latest #CapaCommunityConnections event to share information about NVR and answer questions. We had a great turnout for this online event, but for those who missed it we recorded it so that everyone can benefit from Sarah's advice and knowledge in this area.
