Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®)

Trust-Based Relational Intervention is an evidence-based, holistic intervention developed to meet the needs of the "whole child." It is an approach to caregiving that is developmentally respectful, trauma-informed, and attachment centered. TBRI consists of three principles: Connecting Principles, Empowering Principles, and Correcting Principles. Each is backed by practical strategies. We offer TBRI consulting, and other services to residential and day schools, public schools, districts, agencies, and organizations and families serving Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals.
