Remember the joke that you wish your child came with a manual?

TBRI will help you find some answers. We believe children deserve to be safe and loved. We believe parenting is hard and complicated. Let us help your family to find hope, safety, peace, and delight in one another.

The Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Caregiver Training shows us how to meet our children’s complex needs and behaviors through three principles.
Empowering Principles – address physical needs
Connecting Principles – address attachment needs
Correcting Principles – address fear-based behaviors

TBRI is a holistic, 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. While it was designed intentionally for children with trauma, this approach also works very well with families who are experiencing emotional regulation issues, sensory concerns, and/or highly sensitive children. Lastly, it is a great approach for families who believe that connection and trust is an important part of their parenting relationship.

Led by two TBRI practitioners and attachment therapists, we believe that a small, in-person class is the best approach to both learn and practice skills that are so important to family cohesiveness.  We limit our class sizes to utilize a conversational and interactive approach. This allows time to use real examples taken from willing participants. Participants will be able to not just learn the skills, but have a plan of action for when they get home.
