NVC Communication Training for Families

Feel closer, work together more collaboratively, speak about day-to-day things and family plans more peacefully and easily. Compassionate Communication (also called Nonviolent Communication or NVC) helps us to:

Connect with our kids:

  • Talk with your kids about chores, practice, and school work
  • Learn about what your kids’ (or students’) resistance might be about 
  • Make sense of behaviours you find challenging 
  • Find the words to share what is on your mind, from a place of clarity 
  • Find solutions (out of many possibilities) you can agree on
  • Celebrate and have fun together

Connect with our partners,  family members, friends, and family service providers:

  • Talk with your partner/friends/family about significant decisions from a place of clarity, curiosity, and non-judgment
  • Work through hurts getting in the way of your sense of loving connection
  • Make daily choices together than work for both of you
  • Navigate the extended family peacefully

"The Anger Accordion is really great!... seems very usable and clear. Can’t wait to practice with it. Grateful to you Elke for the time and thought you put into creating this tool for acknowledging and processing anger."
Beth MCNVC Certified Trainer, Tennessee
"You have kids, you face challenges, but you maintain living NVC, and every time we met with you, you gave us hope that it is possible to put what we learn in practice."
Doaa SafwatPsychologist, Egypt
“With your workshop I realized how I was doing my journaling: I was writing my story without the observations, feelings and needs and, honestly, this wasn´t helpful to me. With this new knowledge and skill, I can now write in a way that I can improve my compassion with myself and for others. Thank you so much. I really appreciate what I learned from you.”
Maria José CChile
"A good way to get down to the nitty gritty of communication"
