Evidence‑Based Intervention for Children Impacted by Trauma
If your work involves interacting with children — whether as a therapist, educator, healthcare provider, law enforcement officer, or in another role — you have likely encountered children impacted by trauma. Many have not yet experienced the safety, nurture, and guidance necessary for healing, and their behaviors often reflect unmet needs.
No matter how much time you have with a child — a moment or many months — every interaction is an opportunity to offer connection.
Trust‑Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is an evidence‑based model that equips professionals to support children who have experienced trauma, helping them overcome behavioral challenges and move toward healthy development.
What began as a model for adoptive parents is now implemented by professionals and caregivers across countless systems and settings around the world.
