The Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) invites pre/adoptive and recently or long-ago placed families to a series of Trauma Informed Parenting virtual trainings facilitated by Fostering Hope’s TBRI® practitioners. TBRI is a therapeutic model designed to help children who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or multiple foster placements. It focuses on building trust, meeting a child's physical and emotional needs, and guiding appropriate behavior through compassionate caregiving. TBRI is attachment-based and aims to address the unique challenges faced by children from "hard places". Click through each event below to learn more about TBRI and the benefits of this caregiving model. While we invite you to consider taking the time to come to the entire series, it is okay if you can't come to every session.

This is a small-group, practical training, and participants are asked to be available on camera throughout the session, if possible. This opportunity is intended for Massachusetts pre/adoptive families who are in MAPP training or beyond or families already placed, but we can be flexible on that! Certificates of participation will be given for training hours.
