Today we’re talking with Amanda Purvis who is a Training Specialist with us here at the Institute. In her role, Amanda’s main focus is training professionals in TBRI and supporting organizations and systems who are implementing the model. Amanda has a background in Child Protective Services as well as foster care, and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice. Today, Amanda and our host, Sarah Mercado, chat about the impact of trauma on the brains, bodies, biology, and belief system of children who have experienced harm.
“When we understand trauma’s impact on the kids we care for, we can intercept that negative belief system from forming and replace it with truth.”
