CE: Trust Based Relational Intervention for your Teenager
Facilitator: Pam Lehtonen
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. Developing a trusting relationship with any teenager can be challenging. For teens with traumatic backgrounds of abuse, neglect or broken homes, it is especially challenging for both the teen and for the adult caring for them. This video follows youth ages 11-18 who are offered Trust Based Relational Intervention. You will see how this approach brings about remarkable changes. Pam has implemented these strategies in her home and will offer tips and suggestions from her own experience.
