About TBRI® Practitioner Training:
TBRI® Practitioner Training is for professionals who want to learn about Trust-Based Relational Intervention® and use it within their professional capacity (e.g., therapists, caseworkers, foster and adoption care specialists, occupational therapists, medical professionals, counselors, CASA representatives, early childhood & development specialists). This core training experience is designed to prepare practitioners for working with children, families, and in systems of care impacted by trauma. After successful completion of the TBRI® Practitioner Training, all TBRI® Practitioners may train within their organization using the TBRI® Caregiver Training Package.
Training Design and Fees:
TBRI® Practitioner Training includes two phases of coursework:
Phase 1: Conducted asynchronously through our Institute’s online platform, participants will complete nine units coursework and an interpersonal interview in the ten weeks prior to the live portion of TBRI® Practitioner Training (Phase 2). Phase I is designed to introduce participants to Trust-Based Relational Intervention® and establish a knowledge-base for further instruction in Phase 2.
Phase 2: After successful completion of Phase 1, participants complete five days of intensive training that focus on application and implementation of TBRI®. Phase 2 features live, synchronous sessions that occur either in person or online, depending on the training session.
Successful completion of all components of Phase 1 and Phase 2 are required to be recognized as a TBRI® Practitioner.
