Cafs have adopted TBRI as our preferred model of care and Cafs way of strengthening relationships with others. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviours. Our services are aimed at providing early help and intervention, targeted support, and ongoing assistance. Cafs is a value-driven organisation, which means we use our values to hold ourselves to account in how we work together and how we serve our clients.
