What is Nonviolent Communication?

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple, effective and learnable four step process developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg PhD in 1964. It has been used successfully around the world to resolve conflicts and to deepen connections in personal relationships, schools, hospitals, corporations and governments.

The heart of NVC is to identify universal human needs and what can be done to meet those needs. Even in situations of longstanding conflict or hostility, the NVC process can open new doors to compassionate connection and action.
