About WalkwithMeUK

WalkwithMeUK is an Award Winning, Non-Judgmental, life changing / saving support and guidance service that equips parents, carers, guardians with life-long strategies and tools to practically manage the challenges that they are faced with such as violent, aggressive destructive and much more behaviours amongst Children and Young People (2yrs+) using the Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) approach.

Common Themes

All of the above are often linked to Child on Parent Abuse, Children with Neuro Diverse Disorders eg. ADHD, Autism, School Exclusions or Isolation, Self-harm, Substance Misuse, Child Criminal Exploitation and much more.

Using the NVR approach is to Reduce Conflict, Regain Love, Empathy and Respect and for families to remain connected – enabling a less toxic and a more harmonious and healthier lifestyle / environment to live in to break the cycle for a sustainable positive change and to communicate more effectively/ positively with services, professionals and practitioners.

Aftercare

WalkwithMeUK CIC offer a non-judgmental platform once a month, 1 hour online for  graduate parents / carers to relax, be supported, support each other and explore whether any or additional support is needed for the entire family.

“I look forward to meeting new faces every month with new testimonials, different experiences yet similar journeys.  I love feeling included, embraced with genuine love and empathy.  We are able to express ourselves freely without judgement.  This session was special because we are all connect on a deeper level.  I personally was able to drop my guard and release the pain weighing on my chest.  We laughed, cried and laughed more.  I especially enjoy the meditation at the end which is grounding and relaxing.  This is not a group, this is a FAMILY AND WE ARE WALKING TOGETHER INDEED”!!!
