A globally recognized model for addressing childhood trauma
Children are our future, yet many of them have behavioral issues due to trauma. Left unaddressed, those issues can lead to generational cycles of abuse, neglect and other crimes.
Your organization can break the cycle by starting the healing process with children at a systemic level.
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is a holistic model built on best practices in neuroscience, attachment theory and more, offering practical strategies for addressing the needs – and transforming the behavior – of children who have experienced trauma.
Originally designed for parents of adopted children, TBRI is now used by more than 7,000 professionals across over 60 countries. This model is most powerful when practiced on multiple levels – at home and in the child’s broader community, from their school to their social service providers and beyond.
