Trauma Informed Approaches in Working with Military and Veteran Families

Drawing on practice, research, and policy from across the globe, this workshop will involve participants in discussions regarding their understanding of the impact of military-related trauma on parenting and couples’ relationships in military and veteran families, ways to address them and how to choose evidence-based interventions to maximize effectiveness in practice. These challenges
will be explored through the viewpoint of family court
professionals, forensic evaluators, and therapists. Participants will be able to reflect on their professional and personal assumptions about the expectations, concerns, and limitations of current trauma-informed perspectives on parenting, including shared parenting, in military families.
