DPRR Webinar Series: Strength at Home

About this video

In this important webinar, Dr. Casey Taft explores the powerful connection between trauma, relationships and partner aggression, offering a trauma-informed approach to strengthening military couples’ relationships and preventing conflict from escalating. Drawing from his research and the development of the Strength at Home Couples program, Dr. Taft examines how trauma can shape safety, trust, intimacy, power and control, self-esteem and shame within relationships. He introduces practical strategies for improving communication, managing conflict, rebuilding connection and interrupting harmful patterns before they become more serious. At its core, this conversation focuses on moving beyond crisis response to prevention, helping couples build the skills, insight and connection needed to create healthier and stronger relationships.
