In partnership with the Escola Paulista de Magistratura (São Paulo School of Magistrates), ABBA brings American judge Dr. Carole W. Clark to Brazil for the first time. On this occasion, the magistrate will present, together with Jennifer Gregory, her experience in implementing Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) within the justice system.
The initiative represents a significant institutional advance in the field of comprehensive child and adolescent protection, incorporating an innovative approach aimed at caring for children and adolescents from vulnerable situations, especially those impacted by complex traumas and challenging behaviors.
The application of this methodology has contributed to the qualification of judicial decisions, the improvement of care and monitoring practices, as well as the promotion of significant changes in the life trajectories of children and adolescents and the strengthening of the family context.
You are our guest to participate in this exclusive event, and with your partnership, these same results can be seen here in Brazil!
