Caregiver Training & Support
Is your child or young person displaying behaviours that are distressing for you?
Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is evidence-based in New Zealand via our collaborative work with Oranga Tamariki.
TBRI® is a popular and effective pathway for caregivers to provide trauma-responsive specialised care to children and young people.

What People are Saying
“I never knew the real depth [of harm] trauma could cause or affect one until I ‘was made’ to do TBRI & now I couldn't be more grateful for the life lessons. I'm only saddened that I didn't take the opportunity earlier to better understand [things] from my nieces point of view.”
— OT Whanau Caregiver
“I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Sam and the team for the training given in Warkworth. All my caregivers ‘loved it’. They all talked about the tools they took away and are implementing daily, and the learning and things making more sense. Another fantastic job done.”
— OT Caregiver Social Worker
“Very beneficial course. I enjoyed it very much. I believe it will be extremely helpful, it has opened my eyes and taught me heaps. It is very good to make the connection between behaviour and the brain which has experienced trauma.”
— Teacher

“In the fostering journey, there’s plenty of moments where you think you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, and I’m speaking for myself.”
Ursula Elisara – Immerse CEO & Co-Founder
“Before I became a TBRI® Practitioner, I thought I was a great father and foster dad. It wasn’t until I started applying a trauma-responsive approach, that I fully grasped the magnitude of what happens in the brain and body of children when they experience trauma. This made me a better parent and caregiver.”
George Elisara – Immerse Director of Development & Co-Founder
“Behaviour is the language of children who have
lost their voice”.
