Adrian Perks, adoptive parent and child and adolescent psychotherapist at Family Futures, discusses the importance of parent support, particularly for adoptive parents. He explains his training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and NVR (Non-Violent Resistance), emphasizing that NVR is not about restraint but therapeutic parenting techniques.

Adrian highlights the need for early support for adoptive families and the benefits of self-care. He also mentions the practical aspects of NVR training, including de-escalation techniques and mindfulness exercises.
