TBRI® Responsive Strategies Pt. 1

Today we're wrapping up our mini series with the KPICD founders and directors. This interview features audio footage from a 2014 interview with the late Dr. Karyn Purvis. Here she shares stories from her personal journey, the origins of the Institute, and her reflections on motherhood, faith, and caring for vulnerable children and families. As we close our 20th year as an Institute, we are ever grateful for the legacy of Dr. Karyn Purvis.
