TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention®) is a proven, trauma-informed approach that helps caregivers better understand and respond to children’s behaviors and needs. It is designed specifically for children who have experienced trauma, loss, or disruption, and focuses on building trust, connection, and felt safety.
At its core, TBRI® helps shift the question from “What’s wrong with this child?” to “What has this child experienced, and what do they need?”

Caregivers often find that TBRI not only improves their child’s behavior, but also strengthens their relationship and brings more calm and confidence into the home.
We offer a monthly TBRI® Caregiver Training Series with both in-person and online options.
