Training For Level III Families
Utah’s Department of Child & Family Services (DCFS) has the responsibility to identify homes where they might place children with specific behavioral challenges. Currently licensed foster/adoptive families wishing to work with these children will need a referral from their child’s caseworker or their resource family consultant (RFC) to be eligible.
TBRI Caregiver Series
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® – Caregiver Training (TBRI-Caregiver Training) is an intervention for caregivers of children who have faced abuse, neglect, and/or other trauma. This program is designed to be highly interactive and is delivered in-person by certified practitioners. TBRI-Caregiver Training uses an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach. It aims to provide parents and caregivers with the tools needed to meet the needs of these children. The training emphasizes three core principles: (1) TBRI Connecting Principles, which focus on building trust and positive relationships between caregivers and children; (2) TBRI Empowering Principles, which focus on addressing children’s physical and environmental needs and building children’s self-regulation skills; and (3) TBRI Correcting Principles, which focus on building children’s social competencies.
