CO TBRI® Empowering Principles, February 2026, Woodland Park, CO

Trust Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is designed to meet the complex needs of children who have experienced adversity, early harm, toxic stress, and/or trauma. Because of their histories, it is often difficult for these children to trust the loving adults in their lives, which often results in perplexing behaviors. TBRI® offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, teachers, or anyone who works with children to see the “whole child” in their care and help that child reach his highest potential. In this training, we will explore the TBRI® principles and background, giving you tangible tools to help build your trauma-informed lens and apply TBRI® in your home, work, and everyday life.

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.
