FAMILIES Speak: Doing CRAFT on Ourselves (Huh?)

Coming Up for Air — A Toolkit to Help with Your Loved One's Recovery from Addiction & Mental Illness

Though designed for families to help shepherd Loved Ones into treatment and recovery, CRAFT turns out to be a versatile framework that you can use anywhere, with anyone. And since our relationship with our Self is foundational for all the rest, it’s only logical—essential, Kayla says—that we’d find ways to practice CRAFT on ourselves.

Does this sound confusing and strange? Let our families explain how they've approached this.

Our Families Speak series features a wonderful team of people navigating life with an addicted Loved One. They are all members of Allies in Recovery, an online platform providing proven, research-based training, guidance, support and resources for families with a Loved One struggling with substance use.

Alongside psychotherapist Kayla Solomon, they openly share their experiences, insights, and the CRAFT-based tools that have helped them shift the dynamic at home.

Join Allies in Recovery today to access expert guidance, support, and resources that help families create real change.
