Which one sounds like you?

Three starting points. Each one leads to a training and a person to talk to.

I CARE FOR A CHILD

The practitioner pathway

TBRI Georgia practitioners are trained through an annual cohort. Here is how someone gets there.

1

Learn

Attend an Introduction to TBRI or a caregiver series and start using the principles where you are. Most future practitioners begin here.

2

Connect

Get to know the practitioners in your region and sector. They lead the trainings on this calendar and are the people who recommend new practitioners.

3

Be recommended

Each year, practitioners put forward the people they have seen carry the work. Those recommended are invited to apply for the next Practitioner Training cohort.

4

Train, then lead

Complete the five-day Practitioner Training in Rome and join the statewide network, with a place on the calendar to lead trainings of your own.
