Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Module 1: Connecting Principles - 10/24/23 & 10/26/23 - Webinar

October 24, 2023 to October 26, 2023

TBRI® Principles is a three-part series. You may take Modules 1 and 2 in any order you like. However, please note that at least two other TBRI® courses must be completed before enrolling in Module 3. These courses include Modules 1 and 2 of the TBRI® Principles and TBRI®: Introduction and Overview.

Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Module 1: Connecting Principles 

Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Module 2: Empowering Principles

Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Module 3: Correcting Principles 

TBRI® is an attachment-based approach to parenting that is designed to meet the complex needs of children. TBRI uses the Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors.

Module 1: Connecting Principles focuses on attachment, which is the most important dynamic system that a child experiences during development. This module covers several topics including the attachment cycle, infant attachment classifications, what happens when things go wrong in attachment, adult attachment styles, and applying your knowledge through TBRI Connecting Principles using Mindful Engagement, Choices, Compromises, and Life Value Terms.
