This course is offered by Chantal Michelle, visionary educator, therapist and founder of The School of Happiness. She has been working with children and their families for over 20 years. She believes that the world is a better place when we learn to communicate well, express our needs in a respectful way and when we are able to listen to understand others with compassion. NVC should be taught from an early age and parents are encourage to take part in this powerful way to interact with each other so the whole family can experience more harmony and by extension, our neighbourhood, our societies and the whole world!

BIG EMOTIONS DON’T MEAN BAD BEHAVIOUR.
