Sessions
An Introduction to TBRI
This session provides a high-level view of Trust-Based Relational Intervention, including its three primary guideposts of Connecting Principles, Empowering Principles, and Correcting Principles. You’ll also gain a better understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and why connection is important for healing.
TBRI Connecting Principles
In this session, you’ll explore attachment theory and how to help your children feel valued, safe, and connected. You’ll walk away with practical strategies for addressing fear and building trust in everyday life, so your child or teen can expand his or her capacity for connection, growth, and learning.
TBRI Empowering Principles
Empowering Principles examine how our bodies and external environments shape and impact our needs. With that understanding, you’ll learn different strategies for better meeting the physical and sensory needs of your children, helping them navigate transitions, and more, so they eventually learn how to regulate and balance their minds and bodies.
TBRI Correcting Principles
It’s important to remember that behavior will not change without connection. The real transformation comes through proactive connecting and empowering strategies. However, there will be times when we need to correct behavior. These principles will help you teach your child appropriate strategies for getting his or her needs met.
The Gospel + TBRI
This session unpacks how TBRI and its principles are tangible expressions of the gospel of Jesus Christ, as outlined by Show Hope. It offers parents, caregivers, church leaders, and professionals a better understanding of practical opportunities to live out their faith in their homes and communities.
