TBRI In Action

Join us for a dynamic, hands-on training in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) built specifically for mental health clinicians. We’ll break down the powerful foundations of attachment, trauma-informed care, and developmental neuroscience—and show you exactly how to apply them in real clinical settings.  You’ll learn how to implement the three core TBRI principles—Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting—with clarity and confidence. Through live case consultation, applied exercises, and collaborative problem-solving, we’ll tackle stuck points together and troubleshoot real-world clinical challenges.  Bring your toughest cases. Leave with practical strategies, sharper conceptualization skills, and tools you can use immediately. 

Objectives: 

• Briefly review the theoretical foundations of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI), including attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and developmental neuroscience, and their relevance to clinical treatment planning.
• Differentiate and operationalize the three core principles of TBRI—Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting—within outpatient and community-based mental health settings.
• Integrate TBRI-informed strategies into clinical interventions through applied practice exercises, role-plays, and case conceptualization.
