How we help

Addiction and mental health challenges touch the whole family. Whatever you're facing, you don't have to figure it out alone. We work with the person who is struggling and with the people who love them.

01

Interventions

A structured, compassionate conversation that helps a loved one accept support for addiction, a mental health crisis, or both, planned carefully with the family beforehand.

02

Family support

Guidance for the people closest to the situation: how to set boundaries, communicate under stress, and take care of themselves along the way.

How it works

The first step is often the hardest, and it can be a small one. Here is the short version. See the full step-by-step process.

1

Reach out

Fill out a short form or call us. We listen first and learn what is happening.

2

Plan together

We help the family prepare, agree on goals, and decide on next steps before any conversation takes place.

3

Move forward

We support the intervention itself and the time that follows, for the person and for the family.
