Upon completion of the TBRI® training series, families are encouraged to participate in monthly Implementation & Connection Groups. The goal of these groups is to ensure ongoing support, training, group coaching, and networking for families. A TBRI® Practitioner will facilitate monthly support groups in each region served.

Raise the Future continues to offer training courses for families and professionals through in-person and web-based learning platforms. Training topics focus on issues related to permanency, trauma, attachment, behavioral and developmental challenges, educational needs, and more.

Raise the Future partners with the Department of Family Services in Clark County to conduct a 10 week pre-adoptive licensing and training series. Using the TBRI® Caregiver model, the training provides information and tools to caregivers at the start of their adoption journey.
Raise the Future connects families to additional community resources and services available statewide. Resources include mental health providers, special education resources, child development information, services to support behavioral needs, support groups, and more.

After attending the TBRI® training series, professionals in our service area may access customized consultation. A TBRI® Practitioner will provide hands-on guidance to address challenges, clarify related case plan goals, improve staff recognition and response to trauma in children and families, and other areas as it relates to the application of TBRI® principles. We also offer monthly virtual professional consultation tailored to meet your needs.

Raise the Future has collaborated with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at Texas Christian University to co-create video conversations about a variety of TBRI®-related topics. These conversations employ the expertise and experiences of KPICD and Raise the Future team members to highlight and discuss TBRI® in action. The videos range from 3 to 40 minutes in length and are intended to support continued learning and implementation of TBRI® following completion of the TBRI® Caregiver Training Series.
