Supporting Recovery: Using the CRAFT Model to Help Loved Ones

Love and kindness and acceptance can lead people to change their behavior and change their heart and their thinking.

Johnson, a seasoned mental health counselor and licensed addiction professional, introduces the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) family recovery model. Instead of waiting for your loved one to hit rock bottom, Johnson emphasizes using love, kindness, and acceptance as powerful tools for encouraging change.
