Parenting can feel very complicated today – and more so for those whose children have developmental issues, special learning needs or mood and behavior problems. Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)® was researched and created for families like yours – what is TBRI®?

If your child or teen is behaving in ways you don’t understand, you’re experiencing fatigue, resentment or feeling disconnected from your young one, at odds with your partner because you can’t agree on how to handle these situations, it’s time to soak up some support, refresh your perspective and gain new skills.

Parent smarter, not harder.

Learn why traditional discipline or what worked for you as a child isn’t working for your child or teen – and why talk therapy is not always effective for young minds. Trust-Based Care parenting group teaches you about the power of your attachment relationships, to recognize and disarm fear-based behaviors, and connect to the heart of your young one.
