Renfrewshire’s Nurturing Relationships Approach (RNRA) is an effective and widespread intervention used by staff in educational establishments across the Council.
As an extension of this approach, RNRA parent groups provide support to parents where anxiety or conflict is an issue at home. The group programme is underpinned by principles of a Non Violent Resistance (NVR) approach. NVR has been used in the UK since 2008, with many families and services having found it to be transformative. NVR creates positive interventions where other methods just haven’t been able to help. Specifically, it has been successful in situations where child to adult & sibling violence is a concern, including for those with Additional Support Needs such as Autism, ADHD, Anxiety disorders such as OCD & Attachment Disorder.
Please follow this link to a leaflet created to give parents more information about the parent groups.
