TBRI (Trust Based Relational Interventions) Overview February 14, 2025

Course Description

• Trust-Based Relational Interventions® (TBRI®), is an approach to addressing and healing childhood behavioral challenges and is effective particularly for children who have faced traumatic experiences and for whom other interventions, such as medications or cognitive-behavioral therapies, have not yielded the desired results. TBRI® is a family-based intervention designed for children who have experienced relationship-based traumas. One of the distinguishing features of TBRI® is its holistic and multidisciplinary approach. It is a flexible, attachment-centered intervention that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of children who have endured various forms of trauma. TBRI® is trauma-informed, recognizing the profound impact that adverse experiences can have on a child’s development.
