Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) in Youth Services
This training will consist of an overview of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®). TBRI® is a holistic approach that is multi‑disciplinary, flexible, attachment‑centered, and challenging. It is an evidence‑based, trauma‑informed intervention that is specifically designed for children who come from hard places, such as maltreatment, abuse, neglect, multiple home placements, and violence, but you’ll see that the principles apply to all children. TBRI® consists of three sets of harmonious principles: Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles, which you’ll learn about more in this module.
Presenters: Jacob Huereca, MSW, Sebastian Ramos, with Connections Individual and Family Services
Trauma Responsive Care: TBRI® with Child Sex Trafficking Victims
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is a holistic, evidence-based, attachment-based, and trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children and youth. Vulnerable children or “children from hard places” have changes in their bodies, brains, behaviors, and beliefs systems. Commercially Sexually Exploited (CSE) youth often present with histories of complex developmental trauma that contribute to needs communicated through challenging behavior. TBRI® focuses on understanding the trauma-related needs of the population to better respond to their high-risk behaviors. Connecting with them is at the core of relationships and relationships are vital to creating a safe space for a (CSE) youth to heal from trauma. TBRI® equips caregivers with practical tools that help them walk with youth through recovery and healing.
