Description: Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles to address attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors.

This course is designed to give participants exposure to all parts of TBRI by highlighting the ways in which each section of the intervention strategy fits into the holistic nature of TBRI.

Learning Objectives:

• To lay the foundation for deep insight about the impact of a child’s history on their long-term development.
• To create a framework for practical intervention and application.
• To enhance understanding about how to interpret behavior and respond appropriately.
