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 during the five weekly meetings, 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.
