Agape Families – $16,000 for TBRI Training

Agape

Agape // $16,000

The grant would be used to provide TBRI training to the caregivers of Agape kids.

Agape provides support to children and teens that have an incarcerated parent, through weekend summer camps, and other family outings and events. Faith Gilchrist, Agape Director has been trained as a TBRI Practitioner. This stands for Trust Based Relational Intervention. The program was developed at Texas Christian University and is proven as an effective practice to meet the basic relationship development needs of children and youth from “hard places” as well as the needs of the adults. Agape is now training the Cabin Leaders each year in this method. They wish to expand this training to the Caregivers of Agape kids. The curriculum allows for the gospel to be woven in. These classes would meet weekly for an 8-12 week session, providing dinner and childcare.

Additionally, they would like to provide a spa day for the caregivers of the kids (moms, grandmas, foster moms, etc.) Massages, hair care, alone time, meals and more. The goal of these two ventures is to build community and care, making the gospel a holistic endeavor.
