An emerging intervention model for a wide range of childhood behavioral problems that is based on a foundation of neuropsychological theory and research, tempered by humanitarian principles. It is a family-based intervention that is designed for children who have experienced relationship-based traumas such as institutionalization, multiple foster placements, maltreatment, and/or neglect. Consists of three sets of harmonious principles: connecting, empowering, and correcting. These principles have been used at homes, schools, orphanages, residential treatment centers, and other environments.
