What is TBRI®?
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® was developed by the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KP-ICD) to educate and equip caregivers with knowledge and skills that empower them to provide healing care for a child who has experienced trauma.
Hope and healing is only a few Fridays away.
TBRI® Fridays is a 4-part series of multi-disciplinary trainings designed to give caregivers, volunteers, and professionals who serve children and families the knowledge and practical skills they need to bring hope and healing. TBRI® Fridays trainings will alternate between a TBRI® Intro and Overview and a “deep dive” into one of the TBRI® Principles. After attending an Intro and Overview, participants are eligible to attend any of the “deep dives” into Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles.
Parenting is challenging, particularly when you are parenting a child from a hard place. Children from hard places include children who experienced distress in the womb or during delivery, were hospitalized early in life, were abused or neglected, or experience trauma, whether natural or man-made. TBRI® Introduction & Overview will focus on understanding the meaning of child behaviors, the brain chemistry of a child from a hard place, and how to help children and families heal and connect.
