The Alliance CaRES TBRI practitioner team leads you through a reading and discussion of The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis.  

The Connected Child lays out the foundational principles for Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), a therapeutic model that trains caregivers to provide effective support and treatment for at-risk children.  

During the four sessions, we’ll dive into the meaning and topics of TBRI, plus discuss new strategies for building connections and managing behaviors.  

The series includes... 

◾ The connection between what children have experienced, their struggle with difficult behaviors, and how we can move forward with connection. 

◾ Providing structure and a nurturing environment for children, which includes disarming fear and providing felt safety. 

◾ Nurturing while addressing challenging behaviors and strategies to make life easier during those challenges. Brain chemistry and impact of trauma on the brain.  

◾ Addressing your own needs, healing, and self-care as caregivers.
