SUMMARY:Access to the Experts: TBRI® For Teens
DESCRIPTION:This training will be offered via Zoom.  \nDate & Time: Thursday\, March 24th from 9:00 am-1:00 pm \nDescription: The teenage years can be a difficult transition for adolescents & the adults that love them. With all the stress the world puts on our teens … we want to make sure their safe space is with us while still helping them develop into healthy attached adults … no matter how long we have them! \nSo what does it look like to be a safe adult in the life of an adolescent who has loss\, trauma\, or the foster care system?  \nWhat is TBRI®?  \nTBRI® is an attachment-based\, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of 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.

SUMMARY:Avoiding Power Struggles: The Power is Mine to Share
DESCRIPTION:When we don’t see the meaning behind behaviors\, we are at risk of entering into a power struggle with our children. Children who have experienced trauma have overwhelming behaviors. As parents\, we must see the meaning behind the behavior and meet the need for our child to prevent power struggles and optimize healing.  \nIn this session\, we will discuss the reasons behind these difficult behaviors and how to respond to them using the IDEAL response from TBRI®. Our parent coaching sessions are workshops for foster and adoptive parents with a small number of participants. Bring your specific questions as our parent trainer will be able to give more one-on-one answers due to the small number of participants in the group. \nThis is online training. You will receive the link to join after registering for the event.  \n Foster parents will receive a certificate of completion for CEUs.

SUMMARY:When Fear Bullies Your Child
DESCRIPTION:Fear bullies our children that come from a hard place. Learning strategies to maximize their sense of safety is essential for healing. \nOur parent coaching sessions are online training with a small number of participants. This week we will dive into understanding how fear impacts a child’s behavior\, causing them to respond with flight\, fight\, or freeze\, and strategies that will help their brains relax\, mature\, and grow. This is a great time to bring your specific questions as our parent trainer will be able to give more one-on-one answers due to the small number of participants in the group.

SUMMARY:The Science of Hope
DESCRIPTION:There is hope for children who have experienced adversity! \nIn this introductory session\, we will review the neuroscience and attachment research\, and develop an understanding of how the heart\, mind\, body\, and soul heal from complex trauma. This training can grow our compassion and lead to healing\, transformation\, and hope in the life of the children you serve! When you understand that a child’s behavior is rooted in their early childhood experience\, it can help you see the need behind their behavior and support their healing.  \nThis training is for those who serve children in any way\, including ministry leaders\, parents\, teachers\, and community members. You can be a part of bringing hope to the life of children and families.

SUMMARY:TBRI® for Teens: Correction
DESCRIPTION:In this Parent Support Session\, we will look deeper into how to incorporate the correction strategies from TBRI®for teens. Correction is about looking at the need behind the behavior and meeting that need. We might believe our teen has the same skills as their peers\, but because trauma impacts development\, we will have to teach those skills to them. Many times\, correction begins with setting our bar where they can be successful. Join other parents who are also navigating the teen years during this small group training and discussion. \n Foster parents will receive a certificate of completion for CEUs.

SUMMARY:Can She Handle The Truth? Talking to My Child About Her Story
DESCRIPTION:Many times kids from a hard place have hard questions about their story. It is crucial that we are able to help them process their story. \nAs parents of children with trauma\, we might find it hard to talk to our children about their difficult story. We might find ourselves wondering if we will retraumatize them or hurt them by talking about it. The truth is\, many times\, they are already thinking about their story and we must create a safe space to allow them to process it. In this session\, we will learn tips for telling our children the truth about their history.  The trainer and facilitator has been there and understands how difficult it could be to parent a child who has experienced trauma.  \nFoster parents will receive a certificate of attendance for continuing education credits.  \nYou will receive the link to join after registering by clicking the link below.

SUMMARY:Connecting with My Child: Trauma's Impact on Attachment
