Parent Group: Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)
What is TBRI?
Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) is a therapeutic model developed to support children impacted by trauma, addressing their unique physical, emotional, and psychological needs.
TBRI is structured around three main principles:
- Empowering, which meets a child’s basic needs and creates stability
- Connecting, which builds secure, trusting relationships
- Correcting, which helps children develop positive behaviors and self-regulation.
