TBRI® Caregiver Training 2019: Introduction and Overview (Evening-abbreviated)

Parenting is challenging, particularly when you are parenting a child from a hard place.  Children from hard places include children who were born prematurely, have been abused and neglected, have been adopted internationally, and have special needs.  This training will focus on understanding the meaning of children's behaviors, the brain chemistry of a child from a hard place, and how to help these children (and your family) heal and connect.  Participants will learn tools they can put into action with their children immediately.
This is an abreviated introductory course.
Audience: Parents and professionals
