Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reunify hundreds of families each year by providing parenting skills training, therapy and other support.
Caring People Needed
On any given day, KVC Kansas provides out-of-home care for thousands of children and teens. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster parents are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference as a foster parent.

TBRI Training
Trust-Based Relational Intervention (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. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI is connection. This training is held by a Karyn Purvis Institute or Child Development TBRI practitioner.
Objectives for this training include 1.Learning about trust-based relational interventions and how to implement them. 2. Use empowering principles to address physical needs, connecting principles for attachment needs and correcting principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. 3. Understand more about trauma and how it effects children in foster care and how best to respond to children’s needs.
