Description:
Join us for a virtual three-day virtual workshop about the Community Reinforcement Approach to Family Training (CRAFT). CRAFT is a system for helping friends and family members change the way that they interact with a loved one with a substance use disorder. CRAFT teaches family members how to stay connected, increase communication, and effectively encourage their loved one towards treatment, while taking care of themselves in the process. Unlike family therapy which would include the loved one, this approach is just for the friends and family members. This training is for professional who wish to use CRAFT in their practice.
