TBRI Caregiver Training®
Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, or 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.
Naomi Strawhorn, Victim Services Coordinator, provides ongoing TBRI training and support services to caregivers of children who have been abused or neglected. Training Classes include the following:
- Introduction and Overview
- Connecting Principles
- Empowering Principles
- Correcting Principles
