The Building Bridges TBRI® Conference is almost here — June 11–12 in Gulfport — and we're reaching to meet the needs whether you're parenting through hard moments, sitting with families in your work, or just trying to show up well for the kids in your life, these two days are for you.

A couple of sessions we think will meet you right where you're at:

The TBRI® Clinician — Mary Reardon, LPC (Flourish Counseling) walks clinicians through reading behavior with a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens, and how to ease the shame caregivers so often carry.

From Shame to Felt Safety — Danelle Windham, LMSW (Harrison County) shares how lived experience and peer support bring real safety and connection to reunification work.

And there's plenty more waiting for you — Trust-Based Workplaces, TBRI® Camp Training, a full Caregiver Track, and more.

You're not in this alone. We've got you. Come learn alongside us. Relationships that heal. Systems that learn.
