TRUST BEHAVIORAL RELATIONSHIP INTERVENTION
TBRI
TBRI- Trust behavior relationship intervention
TBRI also known as Trust Behavior Relationship Intervention is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI is connection. TBRI is designed to meet the complex needs of children who have experienced adversity, early harm, toxic stress, and/or trauma.
“When you connect to the heart of a child, everything is possible.”

TBRI is a compassionate, relationship-focused approach that helps children heal from trauma by meeting their physical and emotional needs, building secure connections, and teaching healthy behaviors.
