Couples Coach 1.1

Couples Coach is a comprehensive tool designed to assist partners in enhancing their relationship dynamics and exploring novel ways of connectivity. The application guides users through a structured program consisting of five levels, offering expertly curated educational content and interactive behavioral exercises grounded in scientific research.

• Engaging exercises such as Using I Messages and Active Listening are skillfully presented in a dynamic format, fostering user interaction and knowledge retention.
• Couples Coach facilitates a collaborative journey for partners, encompassing assessments, results sharing, exposure to diverse techniques for addressing common relationship challenges, and access to local community resources. Moreover, it provides extensive support and information tailored for couples navigating PTSD-related issues.

While Couples Coach can significantly enhance communication and relationship satisfaction, it is essential to note that it is not a substitute for in-person couples counseling. The application offers a couples counseling locator feature to connect users with professional counselors and various local and national support services. For those seeking guidance on finding an adept couples therapist to elevate their relationship experiences, Couples Coach serves as an invaluable resource.

As the pioneering initiative of its kind, Couples Coach is continuously evolving through ongoing development efforts. This initial trial release offers users a unique opportunity to experience the beta version and provide feedback for further refinement.

Couples Coach is a product crafted by the adept mobile mental health team at the National Center for PTSD within the Dissemination & Training Division.
