Strength at Home for Clients
Concerned About Your Behavior in a Relationship?
Arguments that escalate. Losing your temper. Name-calling, put-downs, threats, controlling behavior, or physical aggression.
If you are worried about how you are treating a partner, or concerned about where your behavior may be heading, you are not alone.
Many people seek help because they recognize patterns in their relationships that they want to change. Others come after concerns are raised by a partner, family member, employer, attorney, probation officer, or court.
Recognizing a problem is the first step toward changing it.
Change Is Possible
Strength at Home is a trauma-informed, evidence-based program designed to help people stop abusive and harmful relationship behaviors.
The program helps participants:
- Understand what contributes to anger, aggression, and relationship conflict
- Recognize patterns that can damage relationships
- Improve communication and conflict-management skills
- Develop healthier ways of responding during stressful situations
- Build safer, more respectful relationships
- Take responsibility for behavior while working toward meaningful change
Unlike many traditional programs, Strength at Home recognizes that trauma, stress, and life experiences can influence behavior. Understanding these factors does not excuse abuse, but it can help people understand how they may have learned certain patterns and how to change them.
