TBRI Caregiver Training

Online Training Series

About

We are proud to be able to offer TBRI® Caregiver Training as a resource for parents and children, old and new, working to build strong, healthy connections.

TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention based on the research of Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. Derek Cross that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.

FAQ
Adopteen helped me accept my identity at a time when I was questioning who I was and who I wanted to be. I absolutely love the community of friends I have made. Today, I consider these friends to be people I can call up any time, day or night, and they'd have my back because our connections are for life.
Lilliana F.'22 Committee Member
I couldn’t be happier with the doors that have been opened for my son because of Adopteen. I'm only sorry that I hadn’t learned about Adopteen sooner! I would absolutely, without reservation, recommend this camp to everyone.
Eric H.Adoptive Dad
In 2018, I struggled with depression and an identity crisis. My mom encouraged me to attend Adopteen and I found the unexplainable "things" I’d been looking for. I found people who could simply understand and relate. I found a safe haven. It's been years now and I am so thankful for this community.
Sara P.'18 Camper
This is the first activity my child has come home from visibly changed. She was excited (actually excited!) to have people to share her experiences with that understood her… She has been withdrawn since the pandemic started and has really struggled to find a friend group she connects with. When I picked her up at the airport after camp, she was GUSHING with stories… All of this change and acceptance in just 5 days! I could never recreate an experience like this for her on my own. Simply priceless!
Ellen H.Adoptive Mom
Adopteen is a home away from home. It's a place where I can talk about adoption freely and openly without it being a big deal, a place where I can just be myself, and a place to connect with people who get me.
Maddox'21 Committee Member
My 15-year-old son has been struggling with his adoption for years and has never really had any friends with whom he could identify with or share his feelings. I discovered Adopteen through Facebook searches… I couldn’t be more thrilled with the impact this organization has had on his confidence! My son came home glowing with tales of all the friends he had made. A man of few words, his one-word answer to my question about how this experience made him feel was, “Relief.” Adopteen has opened a world to him that has and will surely continue to change his life.
Chris FAdoptive Dad
Being involved with Adopteen has impacted my life so profoundly, it's hard to find words. Thanks to Adopteen, I have met and connected with other adoptees who can relate to the struggles and confusion surrounding it all. There's a sense of belonging I have never experienced anywhere else. It's about coming together collectively and connecting our shared aspects of adoptive identities and creating a community out of it all.
Luke'21 Camper
Adopteen is so special to me because it was the first time I ever felt welcome and understood in the often-intimidating adoption community. When I stepped into Adopteen, it was like a lightbulb went off. We were all adopted, but all so different and it was all beautiful! I keep a special place in my heart for Adopteen. Even now, it remains a safe place for me to go and process my identity as an adoptee and I always leave feeling unconditional support and validation. I have found amazing lifelong friends through Adopteen and am thankful we have been able to grow together as teens and now as adults.
Jenny T.'18 Conference Coordinator
My daughter has learned so much from Adopteen. It has really helped her with her sense of identity and self. It has been a joy witnessing her growth into a proud, confident young woman and I credit much of that to Adopteen's beautiful celebration, inspiration, and pride.
Jill C.Adoptive Mom
I made huge strides in my self-confidence and sense of identity because of Adopteen and that is what keeps me coming back year after year. Adopteen has always and will always hold the most special place in my heart. The staff care so much about each individual's experience that comes to their programming, and you can tell by the effort and quality of each camp year after year. Their genuine care makes such a difference.

What is TBRI Caregiver Training?

TBRI® Caregiver Training equips families and their children with the tools needed to develop secure attachments, empower healthy growth, and begin to heal. Our parent and child trauma-informed classes work through difficult real-life situations through intentional, scenario-based discussions and exercises with a licensed professional counselor specializing in children, adolescent, and family work.

This 8-week, 16-hour series is offered as an online series for any and all families who are ready to take steps towards healthy, trusting, safe relationships with their children. Designed as a series based on the Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) model first introduced by the Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University (Dr. Karyn Purvis & Dr. David Cross), TBRI® Caregiver Training embraces connection and attachment through trust and empowerment-based parenting.

Class size is limited to ensure that each family is able to receive enough support from this training.

In each class, parents will have the chance to learn and discuss high nurture, high structure care techniques as they may best be applied in the parenting of their children. Additionally, parents will have a chance to work with their children with the support of our nurture group trainer in two optional supplemental classes. Parents will be able to practice each week’s new set of tools with their children in between classes.

As this is an online course, families should do their best to find a relatively quiet area in their home with strong internet signal. We know that this may be a difficult quest, so please do not worry if the living room with five competing voices is the best you can find. We understand!

Dedicated attendance is highly encouraged, but if the class is cut off for you due to internet issues or your child is going through the meltdown of meltdowns during class time, we will have supplemental class materials that you will be able to study along with when you find the next free moment.

How should I prepare for this course?
