gET TO KNOW US!

MEET OUR BOARD 

At Parenting for Non-Violence, our Board of Directors is united by a shared belief that every child deserves to grow in an environment rooted in compassion, dignity, and safety. We affirm that non-violence is not merely the absence of harm, but a proactive, intentional practice - one that empowers families to build relationships grounded in respect, empathy, and mutual understanding.

Our philosophy recognizes parents and caregivers as essential agents of change.  We are committed to supporting them with evidence-informed tools, community resources, and educational opportunities that nurture emotional well-being and strengthen the capacity for peaceful conflict resolution.  We believe that when families thrive, communities thrive in peaceful neighborhoods where all people feel secure, connected, and valued.
