TBRI Practitioner Training
In-depth training for professionals
With our accompanying TBRI® Caregiver Training Package, you can go on to train others in your organization.
Slots are limited, so we choose applicants who are in a position to help the most children, based on a variety of factors, including:
- Your direct impact on children through your profession or other work (such as child therapists, caseworkers, CASA representatives, early childhood & development specialists, and more)
- Your support system or workplace’s likelihood to be open to the TBRI model
- Your geographic location in an area where we hope to grow
We wish we could train everyone, and our acceptance decisions are often close, so if we don’t accept your first application, keep trying!
