Trust-Based Relational Intervention®
(TBRI)®, created by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross, is a holistic, attachment rich, evidence-based intervention designed to meet the complex needs of people who have a history of trauma. It is based on three sets of principles. Connecting principles build felt-safety and trust. Empowering principles meet sensory needs, regulate emotions, and balance physiological responses. Correcting principles give practical tools to caregivers when addressing behavior and teach a child how to use their voice, grow their ability to negotiate their needs, and develop social-emotional competency.

Making Sense of Your Worth is an 8-week therapeutic small group, with a focus on attachment. Many adults struggle to have healthy relationships and/or struggle to attach to their children in a secure way. Making Sense of Your Worth gives participants the opportunity to process their own attachment history and work through any lies they believe about themselves. Participants emerge with a stronger, healthier, self worth, and an increased ability to maintain healthy bonded relationships. Many caregivers find TBRI® implementation much easier after participating in Making Sense of Your Worth. Specialized versions are available for the general public, teens, and domestic violence survivors. A faith based version is also available. Making Sense of Your Worth was written by Cindy R. Lee LCSW of the Halo Project.

You cannot lead a child to a place of healing if you do not know the way yourself.
