DIGITAL COURSE: The complete skillset for when someone you love is in addiction.
The U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) has funded a pilot study of our Family Support Program. With the pilot near completion, given the beneficial outcomes participants have experienced and given the increased need during these unprecedented times, we are making this course available to a broader audience for the first time:
Whereas traditional approaches, like the 12-steps, keep us sitting on the sidelines, this evidence-based program provides the education and skills needed to take confident action no matter what situation presents itself.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Course graduates report that communication and relationships improve, they see higher rates of entry into professional treatment and reduction in harmful substance use for their loved ones and equally important, they report feeling better themselves regardless of their loved one's situation.
COURSE BENEFITS

For your loved one:
+ Decrease harmful substance use

TESTIMONIALS
"My son made it into the recovery program in California after a roller coaster of events that had him facing the natural consequences of his addiction.
I realize through my participation in your study group, I have the tools needed to succeed in supporting him no matter what the outcome. That is the biggest difference between CRAFT and a 12 steps program. CRAFT provides you the tools to play in the arena to change your outcomes whereas 12 steps are sitting on the sidelines waiting."
NOTE:
We The Village is founded by Jane Macky
Having a loved one struggle with addiction for years, I struggled to support them and saw how inaccessible quality information was for the 1 in 7 American families affected. Most approaches have you sitting on the sidelines instead of actively participating in a solution-based way, yet research shows that family and friends can effectively use their relationships to improve addiction outcomes, if only they had the skills. I founded We The Village in 2018 to fill this gap for families, surfacing the leading science-backed skills plus stigma-free support, to get through addiction recovery together.
