TBRI®
Trust Based Relational Intervention ®
Trust Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is an evidence-based parenting and intervention model developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross at the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at Texas Christian University (TCU). TBRI® has been built on a solid foundation of neuropsychological theory and research, tempered by humanitarian principles. It is a family-based intervention, designed for children who have experienced relationship-based traumas such as institutionalization, multiple foster placements, maltreatment, abuse, and/or neglect.
Why your family needs it
The majority of kids from hard places have experienced attachment injury, through no fault of their own. Whether fostered/adopted and blatantly removed from their family of origin, OR impacted by some event that caused a severing in relationship, attachment injury results. If wounding occurs through relationship, then healing must also come through relationship. TBRI provides practical tools to help build healthy attachment between you and your child. I'll be with you every step of the way.
