Thriving After: Post-Permanency Support

For families who have adopted or have legal guardianship of their child(ren).

Reaching guardianship or adoption is a powerful milestone.

But it’s not the end of the journey.

At Foster Kinship, we know that families continue to grow, adjust, and face new challenges after permanency. Thriving After is here to make sure you have the support you need not just to get through, but to truly thrive.

How We Support You

We provide a mix of live trainings, self-paced resources, and one-on-one support so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Services include:

Intakes, Referrals, and Support

Every family is different, and your needs may change over time.

We start with an intake to get to know your family, your goals, and what support would be most helpful. From there, we connect you to resources and provide ongoing guidance so you don’t have to navigate things on your own.

Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) Training

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?”

This approach combines attachment-based strategies, evidence-based techniques, and practical tools that caregivers can use in everyday moments. TBRI is built on three key principles:

  • Empowering Principles to meet physical and environmental needs, helping children feel safe and regulated
  • Connecting Principles to build strong, trusting relationships and strengthen attachment
  • Correcting Principles to guide behavior in a way that reduces fear and teaches new skills

Rather than focusing on punishment, TBRI® focuses on understanding behavior, meeting underlying needs, and helping children learn healthy ways to communicate, regulate, and connect.

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.

Training Options:

  • Option 1: 3-week course (9 hours total)
    • Saturdays from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
  • Option 2: 8-week course (24 hours total)
    • Saturdays from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Note: The 3-week course must be completed before enrolling in the 8-week course.

Our goal is to give you tools you can use right away to strengthen your relationship with your child and feel more confident in your caregiving.
