From the authors of Beyond Addiction, this book provides a thorough, compassionate guide through the Invitation to Change Approach, a helping model based in science and compassion that teaches families and professionals the most effective strategies for supporting someone who is struggling with substance use and change.

This workbook introduces the Invitation to Change Approach and provides exercises to learn and apply the skills and perspectives that ITC offers. Invitation to Change combines the evidence-based practices of CRAFT, motivational interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy for a holistic helping framework designed for families with loved ones struggling with substance use.

The Compassion Antidote, by Catherine Taughinbaugh, will change the way you think about your role in family addiction. It will give you the tools and strategies you need to help your struggling young adult or teen transform their life—from being tethered to their drug or alcohol use to reaching their potential and thriving.

Beyond Addiction offers a warm, optimistic, and encouraging approach to helping family members change using the evidence-based approach of CRAFT. This is a fantastic book for families who are looking to help their loved one and want concrete things that they can do that will help.

These workbooks, written by the Center for Motivation and Change, present CRAFT concepts in an easily accessible form and are a great companion to their ground-breaking book, “Beyond Addiction”.
