Domestic Violence
Shelter Staff
CNVEP is committed to work alongside the Domestic
Violence Shelter community to act as a resource in
teaching nonviolent
Philosophy and Practice and be an ally in
breaking the cycle of domestic violence, one family
at a time.
CNVEP recognizes the inordinate challenge this
places on families with a history of domestic
violence, particularly on mothers surviving the
trauma of abuse. The philosophy and practice of
nonviolent child raising holds hope for distressed
mothers in shelters with tools to create or recreate
a family free from abuse and anchor the family in
mutual respect, understanding, honest communication,
trust and caring. Nonviolent parenting provides our
mothers in crisis with reassurance that she is
capable of compassion toward herself while caring
for and guiding her child from trauma to healing.
Our Staff Training and
Development equips your domestic violence
shelter staff with the philosophy and tools to
impart nonviolent child raising to parent survivors
living in emergency or transitional shelters
allowing your agency to be self reliant on teaching
your clients how to interact with their children
nonviolently. In addition to our staff trainings, we
offer Parenting Classes
and a four-day
Intensive Workshop. All our classes can be
tailored to fit your shelter’s needs and can be held
at your site or at CNVEP.
