Connected Communities features conversations about Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) and its application within different communities of care and practice. TBRI is an attachment based, trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of children who have experienced adversity, early harm, toxic stress, or trauma.

In this first episode, you’ll hear a conversation between our host, Sarah Mercado and Dr. David Cross. Dr. Cross is the co-founder and Rees-Jones Director of the Purvis Institute. Sarah and Dr. Cross talk all about the Institute’s origin story, the creation of TBRI, and the importance of connection especially in the midst of COVID-19. It’s a great conversation and we’re so happy to kick off the podcast with Dr. C.!
