Trust-Based Relational Intervention
Trust-Based Relational Intervention [TBRI] is an attachment based, trauma-informed approach designed to meet the needs of vulnerable children. It can be used by parents and caregivers with all children.
Due to trauma, such as abuse and neglect, it is difficult for children to trust the adults in their lives. This often results in challenging behaviors. TBRI offers practical tools for caregivers or those serving children from hard places.
Benefits of TBRI
Decreased behavioral and attention problems
Lower stress hormone levels for kids and reduced caregiver stress
Improved social relationships and attachment behaviors
Fewer psychiatric and trauma symptoms
TBRI Caregivers Training is a group, in-person parent training program. TBRI is a holistic approach that is multidisciplinary, flexible, and attachment centered.
TBRI consists of 3 sets of harmonious principles: Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting. They are designed to be used by parents and caregivers of children of all ages and risk levels. TBRI is based upon how optimal development should have occurred.
