When Peter Jakob first introduced NVR to the UK in 2001, he quickly saw that it had to speak directly to the deep trauma created by abuse, disadvantage and social injustice. In this plenary at the 1st North American NVR Conference, he will show how trauma-focused NVR restores caring dialogue between caregivers and children, helps adults develop quiet strength in the face of their own trauma, and turns the wider network into a genuinely caring community.

Drawing on his book Trauma-Focused Practice in Nonviolent Resistance, Peter will share concrete methods and examples of what this looks and feels like in real-life practice, including his current work with adolescents and adults resisting the impact of past abuse.

Join us at the 1st North American NVR Conference to explore how NVR can transform trauma work in families, foster care, and residential settings.
