Trauma Training - New Albany, IN
You are invited to join us for a six (6) hour TBRI® trauma training, Thursday, February 29th from 9:00am-4:00pm at Graceland Baptist Church, New Albany, IN.
TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.
TBRI® is designed for children from "hard places" such as abuse, neglect and/or trauma. Because of their histories, it is often difficult for these children to trust the loving adults in their lives, which often results in perplexing behaviors. TBRI® offers pratical tools for parents, caregivers, teachers or anyone who works with children, to see the "whole child" in their care and help that child reach his highest potential.
State certified foster parents can receive six (6) hours CEU's for this training.

Adoption Option - LaGrange Baptist Church
Are you ready to take the first step to exploring your adoption option?
This beginners class will leave you with-
An understanding of the different types of adoption and each process. No adoption is the same.
A general understanding of the costs associated with the primary types of adoption.
A foundation of knowledge that will enable you to develop a strategy to afford adoption.
Here at OCA we believe that adoption is God's plan of compassion to change the world. We understand that orphan care is more than adoption and foster care, but this is a time to explore what adoption options are available for growing your family.
Whether you have your mind made up or you are at the beginning stages, this class will cover each of the following adoption options: International Adoption, Private/Domestic, Embryo Adoption, Foster to Adopt.
