Parenting is challenging, particularly when you are parenting a child from a hard place. Children from hard places include children who were born prematurely, have been abused and neglected, have been adopted internationally, and have special needs. This training will focus on understanding the meaning of child behaviors. the brain chemistry of a child from a hard place, and how to help these children (and your family) heal and connect. Participants will learn tools they can put into action with their children immediately.
About TBRI®:
Trust Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is a parenting and intervention model developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross at the TCU Institute of Child Development. TBRI® is based on a solid foundation of neuropsychological theory and research, tempered by humanitarian principles. It is a family-based intervention that is designed for children who have experienced relationship-based traumas such as institutionalization, multiple foster placements, maltreatment, and/or neglect.
To ensure effective training, the number of participants is limited. Due to this, if we have caregivers on the waitlist, we will contact professionals and ask if they can attend another time. This training takes place over two days that build on each other. Attendance is required at both class times to complete the class. The dates and times of these sessions are:
Tuesday October 22 from 9am-12noon
AND
Wednesday October 23 from 9am-12noon
