TBRI® Caregiver Training: Connecting Principles

Length: 6 hours (may be broken down into two 3-hour sessions or three 2-hour sessions)
Intended Audience: Caregivers of vulnerable children, particularly those who have experienced trauma, including children who were adopted or in foster care
Cost: $1,500 MAP Members / $2,100 non-MAP Members (plus expenses)

Description: This course focuses on the Connecting Principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®). 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 for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.

Note: If this training is presented to a group that does not work with a child or children who are clients of CFS, advance permission will need to be obtained from the Karen Purvis Institute of Child Development.

Description: This course focuses on the Correcting Principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®).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 for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. Correcting the behaviors of vulnerable children can be challenging, as traditional methods of discipline may increase fear and trigger further behavioral challenges. This course shows how to correct behaviors while still providing felt safety to the child.
