Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) is a trauma-informed, whole-child approach to caring for vulnerable children and youth. Grounded in attachment theory and developmental neuroscience, TBRI® Caregiver Training is designed to help caregivers to see the needs and meet the needs of children and youth in their care. The TBRI® caregiving training is based on three sets of interacting principles: Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting. Consistent with the three pillars of trauma-informed care, the three sets of principles focus on building trust and felt-safety in the context of healthy relationships (Connecting), developing self-regulation skills (Empowering), and fostering behavioral and social competence (Correcting). TBRI® Caregiver Training is designed to move from theory into practical applications by giving participants a knowledge base, then providing them with real-life strategies and tools they can use with children and youth.
The goals of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) – Caregiver Training are to:
Improve capacity to support the mental health of children and youth in their care.
