• Examine the cultural and social factors that influence the relational well-being of Black couples.
• Acquire strategies for helping couples overcome biases, engage in fair conflict resolution, and express emotions effectively.
• Discover how to break the cycles of past relational trauma that manifest in present conflicts.
• Strengthen clinical skills to help Black couples build emotionally safe, compassionate, and thriving partnerships.
