Rooted Families: TBRI Mentoring Club (Portland, OR)

Nov 15
Saturday, November 15, 2025 – 4:30pm
4:30pm - 7:00pm

Our Deep Roots Mentor Club is inspired by the great work of the late Dr. Karyn Purvis, Dr. David Cross, and the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at TCU, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®). This intervention model has been applied successfully in a variety of contexts, and with many children for whom other interventions have failed.


Rooted Families Rooted Communities uses the TBRI model to emphasize the integration of the following principles:


  • Empowering Principles (felt safety, nutrition, hydration, sensory processing and self-regulation)
  • Connecting Principles (attachment, healthy touch, engagement strategies and playful interaction)
  • Correcting Principles (life value terms and IDEAL response)

The ultimate goal of our Deep Roots Mentor Club is to help families and children develop meaningful connections with one another and learn to understand and meet needs. Learning self-regulation skills will allow children to not only survive but ultimately thrive at home and in life.

Family expectations: .
  • Children attending Deep Roots should be enrolled in kindergarten through 5th grade (typically between ages of 6-12, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. Please let us know your unique family needs).
  • Families are committed to bringing their child/children each month, as long as it is safe to do so and there are no illnesses. One or two planned misses is acceptable. Please let us know at least 7 days in advance for these absences.
  • Please make every effort to be on-time for both drop-off and pick-up
