FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get answers to common questions about our Trauma-Informed programs and parenting classes, designed to support caregivers and professionals in addressing the unique challenges faced by traumatized youth.

TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable 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. Parents, teachers, caregivers, or anyone working closely with children who have been affected by adversity, early harm, toxic stress, or trauma can benefit from TBRI®.

TBRI® In-Home Coaching provides personalized support to help caregivers put the tools and strategies learned in TBRI® training into practice at home. A NOAS certified TBRI® Practitioner works alongside caregivers to better understand challenging behaviors, strengthen connection, and find practical strategies to support the individual needs of the child or teen in their care.

It is often necessary to use parenting strategies that account for the unique needs of youth with histories of adversity, early harm, toxic stress, and/or trauma. In trauma-informed TBRI® parenting, parents consider the differences in the bodies, brains, behaviors, beliefs, and biologies of children who have experienced these traumas and tailor solutions accordingly.

NOAS Caregiver Testimonials

This content is so helpful! More parents and teachers need this training. It made me think about so much that I can do with my kids.”

It was great overall and very relevant, the one area it made me realize is I have a kiddo who gets to level 4 quite often – I need to understand this level more in depth but the TBRI® training brought that to my attention.

NOAS employs two TBRI®-certified practitioners.
