Military Families
Military Partnerships
TruRoot partners with chaplains, unit leadership, and organizations that serve military families. Partnerships are educational and non-clinical: workshop content, coaching referral pathways, and practical resources that support couples without duplicating clinical care or command responsibility.
Every partnership begins with a conversation about the audience you serve and what would genuinely help them.
Who we partner with
Each partnership is scoped around the role you already hold, so that TruRoot adds capacity rather than competing with it.
For Chaplains
A repeatable structure for pre-deployment and homecoming conversations, without adding to your counseling load.

Read moreFor Chaplains
Chaplains carry a wide range of responsibilities and are often the first person a couple approaches when a marriage is straining. TruRoot supports that work by providing a repeatable structure for pre-deployment and homecoming conversations that a chaplain can use directly or hand to couples as a resource.
Workshops for chaplain corps focus on the practical mechanics of those conversations: how to open a pre-deployment plan, what to ask about roles at home, and when a couple should be referred for clinical care. Nothing in the material asks a chaplain to step outside their role or their endorsement.
What this looks like in practice
- A workshop for a chaplain team that wants one consistent framework for pre-deployment couple conversations.
- A short resource couples can take home after a pre-marital or pre-deployment briefing.
- A referral pathway for couples who want ongoing coaching after the initial conversation.
For Military Leadership
Command teams see the effects of family strain long before they see a request for help: missed appointments, short tempers, and service members quietly carrying a marriage that is coming apart. TruRoot's leadership sessions explain how operational tempo lands on a relationship and what a leader can reasonably do about it.
The content is deliberately bounded. It is not counseling, it does not assess individuals, and it does not ask leaders to act as clinicians. It gives them language, a short list of appropriate responses, and a clear line for when a referral is the right move.
What this looks like in practice
- A ninety-minute session for a command team on recognizing strain and referring well.
- A short brief for first-line supervisors on what a struggling service member often looks like at work.
- Guidance on how to talk about available support without implying that asking for help will harm a career.
Host a Workshop
Hosting a workshop is the most direct way to bring TruRoot content to your community. Workshops can be delivered online or in person, as a single session or a short series, and they can be scheduled around a deployment cycle, a homecoming season, or an annual training calendar.
The two anchor modules are Staying Connected Across the Miles for deployment and Reconnecting After Deployment for reintegration. Communication and stress modules are added based on the group.
What this looks like in practice
- A two-hour couples session scheduled six weeks before a deployment window.
- A four-part series across a homecoming season, one session per month.
- A conference breakout or family day session for a veteran service organization.
Request a Partnership Conversation
A partnership conversation is a short call about the audience you serve, what you have already tried, and whether TruRoot's workshops or coaching referral pathway would add something real. It is not a sales call, and it is entirely reasonable for the answer to be no.
If there is a fit, the next step is usually a scoped workshop or a simple referral arrangement with clear boundaries about what coaching does and does not cover.
What this looks like in practice
- A thirty-minute call with a chaplain to review the workshop outline before a command decision.
- A conversation with a family program coordinator about which modules fit an upcoming readiness event.
- A review of referral expectations so both organizations know who handles what.
Please note
TruRoot Coaching provides coaching and education, not clinical treatment or therapy. Coaching is not a substitute for licensed medical or mental health care, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition. When clinical care is needed, Brian refers to licensed professionals and works alongside that care.
TruRoot Coaching is an independent practice. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting on behalf of the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or any branch of the U.S. military.
Let's talk about the people you serve
Describe the audience you serve and the gap you are trying to close. Most partnership conversations take about thirty minutes and end with a clear next step, or an honest explanation that TruRoot is not the right fit.
