Oasis Greater Manchester (GM) are doing some fantastic work with children, young people, and their families across GM through three impactful initiatives: Encounter, PACS, and the Navigator Project.

Encounter is an 8-week therapeutic online course for parents called Encounter, based on the principles of non-violent resistance(NVR), which explores ‘connection before correction’ and has proven to be effective where a child has anxiety, ADHD, or Autism. NVR is an innovative form of systemic family intervention, which has been developed for aggressive, violent, controlling and self-destructive behaviour in young people. This is a fantastic therapeutic programme that is especially of benefit to parents who are struggling to maintain boundaries and high parental presence in the home. The course is free and is delivered by trained practitioners.

PACS (Parent and Carer Support) Launched in October 2023, PACS provides practical advice and one-to-one support for parents and carers concerned about their child's behaviour or risk of violence. The service includes advocacy, crisis intervention, and access to counselling and therapeutic services.

Navigator Project Established in May 2021, this project works with young people aged 10-25 who have experienced violence. It helps them cope, recover, and connect with local support networks to prevent further violence
