Healing for Children with Trauma
WHAT is it all about?
TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children or children from “hard places.” Each of these children have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma, making it difficult to trust others. TBRI® addresses the child’s physical needs, attachment needs, and tools to disarm fear-based behaviors. TBRI® is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research.
The TBRI® Overview Class is a glimpse into the method as a whole and an introduction to the principles.
"When you connect to the heart of a child, everything is possible."
- Dr. Karyn Purvis -
WHY use TBRI®?
Because of their histories, children from hard places have changes in their bodies, brains, behaviors, and belief systems. While a variety of parenting strategies may be successful in typical circumstances, children from hard places need caregiving that meets their unique needs and addresses the whole child.
