Training Description

This training supports those that serve and/or support system involved youth in learning about non-violent communication (NVC) and applying it with children, adolescents, & their caregivers.

In this training session, we will identify at least four principles of NVC and apply them in two activities designed to prepare participants for difficult conversations with both young people & adults.
