How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Invitation to Change Model
    methodology: invitation_to_change
    By using a structured approach that combines motivational strategies, CRAFT, and mindfulness, we empower non-professional communities to effectively support individuals with substance use disorders, because equipping families with evidence-based tools increases engagement and positive behavioral change.
  • Peer-Led Family Support
    methodology: peer_led_support
    By delivering evidence-based support through peer-led groups, we build family resilience and effective support skills, because shared lived experience enhances trust, engagement, and skill adoption in non-clinical settings.
