TBRI® Caregiver Training
Trust Based Relational Intervention — TBRI® Caregiver training is a group in-person parent training program.
TBRI is a holistic approach that is multidisciplinary, flexible, and attachment-centered.
It is a trauma-informed intervention that is specifically designed for parents and caregivers of children who come from ‘hard places,’ such as maltreatment, abuse, neglect, multiple home placements, and violence. It is, however, an approach that can be used by parents and caregivers with all children.
TBRI® consists of three sets of harmonious principles: Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting.
These principles can be used in homes (e.g., birth homes, foster homes, kinship homes, adoptive homes, etc.), schools, orphanages, residential treatment centers, and other environments. They are designed to be used by parents and caregivers with children and youth of all ages and risk levels.
TBRI is based upon how optimal development should have occurred. By helping caregivers understand what should have happened in early development (including prenatal development), TBRI principles can be used by parents and caregivers to help guide children and youth back to their natural developmental trajectory.
This animated video does a great job of illustrating TBRI®.
Testimonial
“After just a few weeks of Circle of Security, I felt like I was a calmer parent and more in love with both of my children. Instead of giving me a lot of specific techniques I could never measure up to, the FHH therapist helped me better understand my children’s behaviors and my role as a mama. Our family is better because of what I learned in Circle.”
