What is the NeuroRelational Framework (NRF)?
Neuro = references the focus on understanding principles of brain development.
Relational = references the significance of relationships and their impact on healing.
Framework = references the NRF as both an assessment and intervention practice, as well as a map that guides the use of promising and evidence-based practices, so that developmental care can be better matched to the neurodevelopmental needs of the child and parents.
The NRF is a translational framework, translating brain science into clinical practice. Our passion is to train national and international communities that have high-risk infants, in particular – pregnancy to five-year-olds and their caregivers in trauma-informed and neurobiologically sensitive developmental care.
Integrated into our training programs, is support for practitioners furthering a cultural awareness of themselves and their families as cultural beings. To promote sustainability and systems change, we specialize in training and transforming communities.
We prioritize servicing low-income, complex, and underserved populations. In addition, this non-profit is pursuing scientific research that assesses the outcomes of the child, families, providers, and communities using the NRF.
