About The Association For Nonviolent Communication The Association For Nonviolent Communication is a non-governmental, non-profit and humanitarian organization dedicated to violence prevention and spreading principles of non-violent communication.
We consider violence as a problem of the entire society and of the ones who commit it. When the Association was founded we established 3 primary objectives:
The Association For Nonviolent Communication is the first non-governmental organization in Slovenia that has designed a program that offers counselling for those who commit violence. We strive for an integrated solution to the problem of violence, which means that we want to prevent violence and to mitigate its consequences with programs for those who experience violence. Furthermore, we organize preventive and educational activities to raise awareness of the occurrences of violence to the professional community and general public.
The Association For Nonviolent Communication had been a member of the Expert Council on Violence against Women at the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs up until 2005. Since 2005 we have been members of the Expert Council on Violence in the Family at the same Ministry. We also cooperate with other groups that deal with improving government legislation and offer services in the field of violence prevention. Since the organization's beginning there have been many changes in the field of violence prevention. Society has become more aware of violence, new organizations have been formed. People notice and detect violence quicker and they themselves feel that new forms of help are needed for victims and perpetrators. On the other hand, an increasing number of such organizations shows that many people are in need for help. It is good to know that there is a wide range of programs to choose from when searching for help. The Association For Nonviolent Communication tries to adapt its methods of work to the needs of its users. For this reason we are constantly organizing new projects, new ways of cooperation with other organizations and new actions. The projects of the Association For Nonviolent Communication are designed and carried out by employees and volunteers. We are all trained to work in the filed of violence and also continue to receive up to date education on the topic. Basic principles of the Association For Nonviolent Communication |
