HopeAlight is excited to announce a new training event designed for parents and caregivers to learn about Trust Based Relational Intervention®. TBRI® is an attachment based, trauma-informed approach designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. Although TBRI® was created for children who had experienced adversity, this approach provides a framework for parenting that is powerful and effective for all children and adolescents!

Through this training experience, parents and caregivers will learn about the Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles of TBRI®, including information such as:

• How the brain functions during times of health and stress

• The neuroscience of everyday stress. as well as trauma/adversity

• Attachment and how it impacts relationships

• Supporting regulation needs of children (and adults)

• Correcting children in healthy ways that change behavior while maintaining connection

We are aware of the many barriers that exist for parents in being able to receive the support they desire in their parenting journey. To eliminate some challenges associated with childcare and work obligations, this live training will take place virtually on February 18-19, 2022 from 8:00a-4:00p. A 30 minute break will be provided in the morning and afternoon, as well as a 1 hour break for lunch to help meet your regulation needs..

Not only do we want you to have an incredible training experience, but we want you to have the support you need to incorporate TBRI® as a parent. So often, we feel excited and hopeful after attending trainings or reading books about parenting, but the implementation can be challenging when we attempt to do so by ourselves. Therefore, this experience includes:

• Two days of comprehensive training

  • 1-2 caregivers

  • February 18-19, 2022

• Three 1 hour consultation sessions (small groups)

  • March 15, 2022

  • April 12, 2022

  • May 10, 2022

You will also receive weekly newsletters with encouragement/tips on how to use TBRI® with your family.

Registration will close February 4, 2022. Materials will be mailed by February 9, 2022. The training schedule, Zoom link, and additional training information will also be emailed on February 9, 2022. We look forward to seeing you in February!
