DESCRIPTION:
TBRI® is an attachment-based, evidence-based, and trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. The TBRI Caregiver Training is designed for TBRI Practitioners to train caregivers, broadly speaking, within their organization in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), equipping staff/caregivers with the skills and tools needed to be successful in their various roles. This training will not be recorded.
