As a result, 1,148 individuals were served through these initiatives in FY23. See Schedule O.Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Training: an initiative to train professionals in attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention to meet the complex needs of children from hard places. 302 professionals were trained in the TBRI for Caregivers curriculum during FY23. Church and Community Engagement: We equip and mobilize congregations and community stakeholders to 1) identify and support the needs of vulnerable children and families in their congregations, 2) mobilize their communities to serve their neighborhoods, and 3) work collaboratively to maximize impact. During FY23, 92 church leaders attended our Church Leader Training.
