• How can care-giving persist when escalation keeps disrupting it?
   

• How can we face those children, students, or clients who reject our care, ignore our presence, and hurt themselves, others, or us?
   

• What can be done when care is not accepted, cannot be coerced, and won’t be abandoned?
   

Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) Interventions are a way of maintaining the presence of care facing violence, anxiety, self-isolation, self-harm, dysfunctional dependence and mental illness.
 

At the same time, they offer parents and other caregivers a path for transforming helplessness into agency and ultimately reconciliation with those they care for, and with themselves.
 

Typical issues include:
 

In Children and adolescents:
 

• Aggression toward Family/Caregivers in Childhood & Adolescence (AFCCA)  and erosion of parental authority
   

• Children’s anxiety problems
   

• NVR’s full application list
   

In Emerging adults
 

• Failure to launch and social withdrawal
   

• Psychiatric settings
   

• Suicide threats
