Strength Training
1o sessions, 1 couple, 1 coach
All of our couples begin with our strengths training program starting with a Gallup Clifton Strengths Assessment. This program is about self-awareness and learning the tools to make strengths a super power rather than a liability in marriage. Through 10 sessions with a coach who has lived understanding of the rigors of service life, individuals start to learn how to lean into each others strenghts and rein in the ones that aren’t serving them as well as they would like.
Couples learn to value their own and their partner’s strengths within the context of marriage. They learn how to work as a team, and reduce conflict with new communication skills.

Empowered Spouses (ES) & Emboldened Service Member Men (ESMM)
12 group sessions, 2 individual sessions, 6 women, 1 coach
Both ES and ESMM run concurrently.
An online community of spouses who are either the supporting spouse or the service member or who are in a dual service member marriage. TACKF ensures spouses and service members are not in the same work group creating safety to share without fear of retaliation or exposure.
The group discusses the realities of being the one who is always available, the caregiver and champion who has a life of her own, and a loss of community due to demands of the service life.
This program reinvigorates individuals, shares experiences and practical application of self-care and marital connection in the unpredictable and trauma riddled environment of service life.
Women have built bonds that have lasted long after the groups end.

emboldened service member men (ESMM)
12 group sessions, 2 individual sessions, 6 men, 1 coach
Build community and confidence in a safe place. Groups are intentionally formed to ensure no crossover in work life and group engagement. Men are able to process the realities that come with marriage in a service life, repeated and prolonged exposure to trauma living alongside a desire to love and be loved well.
Men in these groups have developed such a strong bond, that TACKF has answered their call to help them stay connected long after group is over.

No. We understand the transition from military and first responder life into civilian life can be challenging for a service couple.
Habits formed during service often need to be adapted once service ends. Issues that may have been repressed under the high-pressure demands of service life can surface in retirement.
We happily serve active-duty, retired, and former military members and first responders.
-
Married couples in which at least one partner is currently serving or has served in the military or first responder community, including law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services.
Couples may be in crisis, or they may simply recognize that it’s time to invest in their marriage before they are in trouble. On the application, we ask couples to assess their level of crisis on a scale of 1–5 and provide a brief description so we can triage appropriately.
Our program is designed for couples who are ready to receive marital support and are willing to engage with and implement the resources provided.
-
Couples experience over 30 coach- led sessions focusing on how to best utilize their strengths within their marriage.
They complete our evidence-based programs intentionally paced and working around their unpredictable schedules.

We simply ask that, wherever each individual joins their coaching session, they do everything possible to ensure they can participate without interruption.
