Have you experienced a roller coaster of emotions and circumstance due to someone else's Substance Use Disorder? I understand, me too! In Family Recovery we take care of the fear of not knowing what to do and the confusion of doing things that aren't helping, and feeling stuck in chaos. There is hope, there is healing, and there are ways to transform confusion into clarity, to establish a calmer and kinder way, with ways to connect and communicate effectively with those we love.
It's not the stumbling that's the problem, it's the not knowing how to find our footing and re-set a direction. Family Recovery Coaching includes Evidence Based Practices to find the right path for you and get you upright, confident and moving forward. You gain knowledge and skills that take you off the roller coaster. You are fully supported to become empowered and influential, to inspire and help in ways that are helpful. These powerful programs are infused with and empowered by love. That's what propels you forward to go from feeling helpless to knowing you have tools, and practice using them effectively. Research shows that when family members focus on their own recovery, they become the best chance for their loved one to choose and maintain their own. Only one person needs to begin this process. I invite you to be that one.

"Indeed my life is mellower due to you and your course."
"I have been an Alanoner for a long time but have to say Joanne's class has added so much to my life, I can barely explain it. It brought all those years of meetings, counseling, etc. together. Thanx Joanne again."
"Thank you Joanne. You have helped me so much to question my thoughts and beliefs. I have been living in such a hopeless dark place and doing this work with you has helped me re-think everything."
"It’s like coming out of the darkness and into the light. It’s changing all my relationships."
"I got my momentum since I'm in this class. I'm in the best place I've been in 4-5 years. I have my self-esteem back and I'm not depressed anymore."
"It’s really helping me to connect with my son, see how beautiful he is, and relieve my worrying. I'm not as angry anymore, I'm accepting him more, and feel less tension between us. Thank you Joanne!"
