Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication process developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg which creates a vision of the world in which everyone's needs are met peacefully through relationships guided by compassion. The Oregon Network for Compassionate Communication (ORNCC) promotes the growth and practice of NVC in Oregon and southwest Washingtion. NVC can help to:

Improve communication among family members of all ages.
Create productive & cooperative ways of working among employees, staff & managers
Translate wants & desires into requests that are clear, compassionate, direct & doable
Cultivate a kinder, more authentic connection with yourself and others
Re-establish trust and honesty in intimate relationships
