TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors.

ETC’s resources and trainings are especially helpful for caregivers of children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), toxic stress, and maltreatment. We fundamentally believe that every human being has great capacity to grow and overcome adversity when cared for in supportive, connected, and nurturing environments.

We offer information on adoption, attachment and bonding issues, early trauma, and Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) to families and professionals. The goal of this site is to provide resources and help for each wounded child with Attachment Disorder, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) – and to provide hope for each awesome parent and team member. 

Welcome to the Post Institute, a place where parents and professionals involved in the lives of our most vulnerable and challenging children come to find proven effective solutions, education, and support.​ The Post Institute offers educational materials and supportive services to help parents lead their families on a journey of healing the wounds of complex trauma.
