Because of their histories, children from hard places have changes in their bodies, brains, behaviors, and belief systems. While a variety of parenting strategies may be successful in typical circumstances, children from hard places need caregiving that meets their unique needs and addresses the whole child.  This workshop is a video-based training with room for discussion at the end of the class.  Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) is a research grounded intervention that meets the complex needs of children who have suffered harm during early childhood.  In this video, Dr. Karen Purvis presents specific skills & insights garnered from research with children from hard placeson how to disarm fear responses that drive their aberrant behavior.

Meets Foster VC Kids criteria for “Trauma” Participants will receive credit for 2.5 hours upon completion of the class.
