Trust Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is a holistic, evidence-based, attachment-based, and trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of “children from hard places.” As a community, we have and still are journeying through a pandemic. It is said that as we are weathering the same storm and are in this together, we all have different boats we are traveling in. Children/Youth from hard places have changes in their bodies, brains, behaviors, and beliefs systems. Building connections and healthy relationships are vital to creating a safe space for a child/adolescent to heal from trauma. The Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development created TBRI, a practical, trauma-responsive approach for those working with children and youth. Now more than ever, we are in need of hope and healing. This workshop equips participants with tools based in the connecting, empowering and correcting principles to not only help those we serve but also takes us on our own journey towards health and healing.
