A professional guide for using the CARE & HOLD models in clinical and professional settings.
This instructor manual is designed for therapists, coaches, and helping professionals who work with individuals or couples navigating the mental load, relational equity, and caregiving dynamics.
The CARE & HOLD frameworks offer more than a strategy for dividing tasks—they provide a deeper lens into how care is shaped by identity, socialization, and systemic narratives. This manual equips you to bring that lens into your practice with nuance, depth, and structure.
Inside this manual, you'll find:
A detailed breakdown of both the CARE and HOLD models
Clinical implications and theoretical underpinnings for each model component
Practitioner tools for assessment, education, and intervention
Worksheets, reflection prompts, and guided conversation frameworks
Common client challenges and recommended entry points for deeper work
Considerations for working with couples, new parents, and individual clients
Language to support identity work, reduce defensiveness, and increase buy-in
Whether you’re working with clients in early parenting, rebalancing partnership dynamics, or exploring individual identity shifts, this manual will help you move beyond surface interventions and into transformational care-based practice.
This is not a script—it’s a scaffold.
Designed to support your expertise while offering structure, language, and insight to help your clients move from blame and burnout to equity, accountability, and connection.
