Trust Based Relational Intervention Introduction and Overview Virtual Lunch and Learn :

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.

If you are new to TBRI® or want your family members or community supports (ex. babysitter, friends, teachers) to be more informed, this is the CLASS!

This 4 week virtual lunch & learn will cover trauma and the brain, the attachment cycle, the needs behind behaviors, and an overview of the Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles of TBRI®.

Wednesdays in March, 12-1 pm. Virtual.
