Topic Support Group: TBRI Connected Child Book Club

The Alliance CaRES TBRI practitioner team leads you through a reading and discussion of The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis. The Connected Child lays out the foundational principles for Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), a therapeutic model that trains caregivers to provide effective support and treatment for at-risk children. During the four sessions, we'll dive into the meaning and topics of TBRI, plus discuss new strategies for building connections and managing behaviors. The series includes...

• The connection between what children have experienced, their struggle with difficult behaviors, and how we can move forward with connection.
• Providing structure and a nurturing environment for children, which includes disarming fear and providing felt safety.
• Nurturing while addressing challenging behaviors and strategies to make life easier during those challenges.
• Brain chemistry and impact of trauma on the brain.
• Addressing your own needs, healing, and self-care as caregivers.
