Ingage - Saturday Programme for Children and Youth in Care Based in TBRI®

Ingage is Immerse’s unique Saturday programme for children founded on the evidence-based framework of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®).

Ingage is designed for children over five years old in the care of Oranga Tamariki, who’s families have been trained by Immerse in TBRI®. Each child has a designated one-on-one buddy who will journey with them, addressing their specific needs and helping them flourish in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.

Ingage has building connection at its core. Connection builds trust. Trust builds healthy relationships and facilitates healing. TBRI® has over three decades of global application and is specifically designed to help meet the relational and developmental needs of tamariki and rangatahi impacted by complex developmental trauma and loss.

Ingage runs every second Saturday during the school term, approximately 20 sessions per year.

Become a Buddy

Being a key part of the healing journey for tamariki and rangatahi is a rewarding role and consequently Ingage is a great place to volunteer. Volunteers receive TBRI® training and skills on how to work with tamariki and rangatahi who have experienced complex developmental trauma.

This knowledge is likely to have benefits far beyond the boundaries of Ingage.
