This 2 hour class will be in person at the PEACE Center. It will provide an introduction of the principles of TBRI (Trust-based Relational Intervention) for caregivers of children with challenging behavioral issues. Caregivers will learn about the Empowering, Connecting and Correcting principles. The class is based on the research and methods developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and her colleague Dr. David Cross, the founders of the Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University. Dr. Purvis has coined the phrase “children from hard places” to describe children who have experienced difficulties in early development. The class will use problem-solving scenarios to provide practical skills to caregivers so they can build a stronger caregiver-child connection, which leads to better behavior.
Understand the brain development of a child with trauma history. Understand the changes when a child’s needs aren’t met and how they can be healed. Learn to how to apply this knowledge to see the need behind a child’s behavior.Schedule:
