Description
Dr. Karyn Purvis, Rees-Jones Director of the TCU Institute of Child Development, explains the need for specialized, trauma-informed care for children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or other forms of trauma. These experiences alter a child's brain, body, and belief system and often result in confusing, fear-based, survival behaviors that require compassionate and informed caregiving. Dr. Purvis outlines the concepts behind Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and it's research-based strategies for helping children from hard places. Running time: 1 hour, 15 minutes.
