What do our children and youth need?
To meet the needs of vulnerable children who have experienced historical and/or complex developmental trauma, the adults in their lives (caregivers, caseworkers, teachers, therapists, lawyers, judges, physicians, policy makers, etc.) must understand the impact of trauma and implement practices that create felt-safety, build trust, and empower secure relationships.
TBRI provides the tools we ALL need.
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® or TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed, and evidence-based intervention that focuses on building trust and connection through Empowering, Connecting, and Correcting principles, helping children feel safe and develop healthy relationships.
The TBRI GA Collaborative is leading the way.
The TBRI Georgia Collaborative (TGC) is composed of Practitioners, Champions, and Practicing Organizations from across the state working together to equip those engaged in the lives of children and youth with the lens, compassion, and skills to promote deep healing. The TGC utilizes TBRI both as an intervention tool to restore health and as a prevention tool that educates caregivers on attachment, felt-safety, connection, and co-regulation needs, and propels state agencies and child-serving organizations to incorporate trauma-responsive policies and practices to avoid re-traumatization of vulnerable youth.
The TGC assists individuals and organizations with the Exploration of TBRI Principles through trainings and resources, offers coaching and team-building assistance to support Immersion that leads to the deep implementation of TBRI Principles, and connects child- and family-serving organizations across communities to facilitate Extension to partners within their sector.
