Description

As a kinship caregiver, you’ve opened your heart and home to a child who needs you most. You’re already providing an incredible gift, and we know that stepping into this role comes with unique challenges and deep love. This webinar is designed specifically for you, to offer practical, compassionate tools that can help the children in your care heal, feel safe, and truly thrive.

 

Trust-Based Relational Parenting (TBRI) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that understands the unique needs of children who have experienced loss, trauma, or big changes in their lives. It’s not about quick fixes; it’s about building deep connections, understanding behavior through a new lens, and creating a healing environment.
