Module One - Replanted Ministry Intro

This module introduces Replanted Ministry, a faith-based nonprofit organization that seeks to build support and connection for foster and adoptive families. Replanted Ministry operates as a network of support groups and host of an annual conference to build community and share trauma-informed resources to help families thrive. Over the past 12 years, Replanted Ministry has multiplied from one support group outside of Chicago to more than 40 groups nationwide. Explore module one.

Module Two - Trust-Based Relational Intervention

Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) is an attachment-based and trauma-informed intervention for vulnerable children with complex trauma. Early youth trauma can have a lasting effect on a child’s development, including coping behaviors, fear responses, social competence, and brain chemistry, all of which are compounded by the lack of a nurturing environment. TBRI seeks to care of the “whole child” through its three components: Empowering Principles, Connecting Principles, and Correcting Principles (Purvis et al., 2013). Explore module two.

Module Three - The opportunity for sibling integration

Can Replanted Ministry’s programs integrate all children within a family unit into the same transformational journey that the caregiver(s) and foster and/or adoptive children are walking through together? How could an integration of TBRI help organizations that support children with lived experiences of trauma? Explore module three.
