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:

We offer a monthly TBRI® Caregiver Training Series with both in-person and online options.
