We at the Institute, along with the rest of the world, find ourselves in strange and uncertain days. The spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has changed daily life for many if not most of us. In order to help slow the spread of the virus, TCU has asked employees to work from home and has transitioned to virtual instruction for the remainder of the semester. Our Institute has postponed our spring TBRI Practitioner Trainings and closed our store.
Even though our offices are empty, we are still deeply committed to our work here at the Institute. Here are a few resources regarding COVID-19. We will continue to update this list as we discover and develop more resources.
